Hello,
I just talked to my CTO, he loves MPLS and would never go back. It
solves a ton of issues with routed networks.
Here are some good sites with info, so you can make your own
judgment.

Thanks

Hello,
We have 3 on another part of our network, but I know you can do
more. It works really well for our setup. We are using RSTP so we do not
even loose a ping when it changes over.
However, we do not care much for it. It does work in the right
instances, but you have a limit as to the number of STP domains you can have
on a switch. I think our switches limit is 8.
Thanks

Soo.what is the most STP switches anyone has had on a single collision
domain?
