Have the vendors in this space caught up to Carrier Ethernet yet?
LAN bridging, based on MAC addresses, is a really bad idea, outside
of a small LAN of course. But in the fiber optic world, the big
thing nowadays is Carrier Ethernet. This is not bridging, but is a
newer "layer 2" network based on Ethernet framing. It uses VLAN tags
for everything, assigning QoS (CIR, EIR) to each VLAN, and using RSTP
(sort of the low common denominator) or something smarter to build
the paths. I sometimes call it "Ethernet framed Frame Relay".
RouterOS seems to know about 802.1q VLANs in the old sense but not
much more. Anybody out there using CE for anything wireless?

and then make sure their CPE is in bridge mode and assign that static to the
customers router so they can enable UPnP themselves.
