Is this for fiber? Are you building fiber rings? If so, you may want to
look into G.8032v2 designs.

I know a lot of us here span networks across large areas and have multiple

I want my IP address space to be redundant and I guess I can either make sure I
have a ring with OSPF/ static routes, or I can BGP.
Since I sell to other providers that would like BGP and I would like to
preserve my routing by /24 classes via BGP.
Maybe I should just use BGP at each site/area?
That would restrict me to keeping the sites at /24 class size or larger though,
since external BGP doesn't like anything smaller.
I think that's ok, but it does lend itself to waste if I come short of using
the 254 IP's or I just break the barrier into another /24 for the site.
But I can't think of any way around it without relying on infrastructure to
ring me back to a central BGP point or two, using OSPF inside.
What do you guys do?
