Does anyone on this list operate an open access network? If so, what mechanism are you using to ensure that each customer is getting to the right ISP?
Right now, we have a VLAN per customer, which is not fun to work with and not very extendable. One thought I have, is to do a VAP per ISP, then use MPLS/VPLS to bridge every AP (about 60) back to a core router. Each ISP would have their own bridge to get up to Layer 3. I could also skip the VAP part of that, and simply have each ISP register their client's MAC addresses so that we can use the proper DHCP pool. The downside to this, is when a customer changes their router, they'll have to contact their ISP for assistance. My network is about to triple in size, and I really need to find a new/better solution. Any thoughts? Thanks! -- Troy Settle, Network Administrator The Wired Road Authority 1117 E.
