Do you really need something faster than one of the spanning tree variants? The topology at Montana Internet is to have a layer 3 switch at each site and a big flat rapid spanning tree ring for all of the OSPF speaking layer 3 switches (Aka routers) to talk on. If I yank a ring cable, I lose

We are evaluating vendors for this at the moment. Ciena is looking like the winner at the moment, with G.8032 as the loop control topology. So far we have rejected Cisco, Juniper, Performant, Accedian, and Extreme as vendors. To answer Forrest’s question - yes, we do need faster recovery than

The biggest issue we have with MSTP is the inability to deal with unstable links. A high capacity backhaul flapping is disastrous with MSTP due to the constant bridge table flushing. G.8032 should be able to deal with this type of failure more gracefully. I think MPLS also has ways of

It’s a tough one. MEF/ITU/IEEE Ethernet standards do have a lot of the mechanisms from SONET that allows you to specify reversion time on circuits to limit damage from flapping. Performant was the only one who seems to have tried to do anything with automated bandwidth detection and making
