Thanks to everyone for your feedback on this, I think I found my solution:
VPLS-per-ISP
Edge-to-Core (VPLS)
Core-to-Core (BGP VPLS)
Core-to-L3GW (BGP VPLS)
(core = multi-homed site)
This will be an adventure for sure!
Next question: Provisioning!
Our current provisioning system is a VLAN-per-user, aggregated at one of 4
gateway devices. These gateway devices do a very good job at bandwidth
control, and it's all controlled through a clunky GUI. No direct
interaction with the routers is required.
Moving to MT is a no-brainer, but I'm not sure how best to handle customer
provisioning.
I'd like to use DHCP against a RADIUS server. I know this will work for IP
assignment (static and dynamic), and I know I can use radius to send rate
limiting information, but I don't think the RB1100AH will handle thousands
of simple queues very well.
Is there an elegant method (using DHCP and Radius) for placing customer IPs
into an appropriate address list in order to get them properly mangled for
PCQ?
Thanks,
-Troy
