There was a presentation on MikroTik MPLS at Animal Farm that was very informative. We are not using any MikroTik (yet) however a couple of WIPS operators that I trust are using it with alot of success. __________________________________ Jerry Richardson airCloud Communications

Mikrotik now supports MPLS. So any routerboard should work fine, depending on how much traffic you need to move.

Any other suggestion welcome. 2) cost per site goes really high for the backbone. If we would like to implement MPLS in each site, it would cost us a fortune. 3) Still wondering about maturity or many MPLS implementations, not sure the brands that really work and the ones which does not. Suggestions welcome ;) P.S. are you using MPLS?

So I was just wondering about switched... Thank you. If you have that many a routed network would be much simpler. Any ideas on the limit of stp devices, though?

Just curious because I did not find anywhere the maximum number and wondering if the backbone collapse after 10 or 100 or 1000 switches. Also wondering what do you advice, I know that not all the switches are the same... (thinking about HP for this application) Thank you in advance. -- Ing. Paolo Di Francesco Teleinform S.p.A.
