The blog article seems to imply an area can have multiple ABRs. It looks like I'm quite far from needing areas, but I'm also entertaining them as a mechanism to separate customer IPs from the backbone area.
I'll continue with a single area for the time being. I am still interested to know whether MPLS is actually worth the effort, but perhaps I'll run some tests with it on and off. -Chris On Tue, Sep 8, 2015 at 2:42 PM, Justin Wilson - MTIN <[email protected]> wrote: > It’s all about memory and how many routes to process. > > http://www.mtin.net/blog/?p=309 > > That’s a blog article I wrote which may help some. > > Justin Wilson > [email protected] > > --- > http://www.mtin.net Owner/CEO > xISP Solutions- Consulting – Data Centers - Bandwidth > > http://www.midwest-ix.com COO/Chairman > Internet Exchange - Peering - Distributed Fabric > > On Sep 8, 2015, at 1:39 PM, Christopher Gray <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Can an area have multiple ABR routers connecting to area 0 (Is there any > way to add redundancy to an area)? > > How big is too big for an OSPF database (At what point should one really > start using areas)? > > With Mikrotik hardware, if there is no current need for VPLS tunnels or > MPLS-TE, is there any benefit to running MPLS vs just OSPF?
