Why do you say “full route”?
Seems like the lookup is destination IP --> next hop. Doesn’t seem like rocket science. From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Cassidy B.

It wont have to lookup the full route in the route table.. just match the appropriate label to the label table. If that is true on Mikrotik, I couldn’t tell you.

But I’m still experiencing ‘slow downs’ at the VPLS port where I don’t get 9Gbps anymore, and it appears to be reduced to 5Gbps and 2Gbps for up/down. So I’m thinking of reverting back to straight OSPF and VRRP for my main customer end routing.

What are the pros/cons of using MPLS? I would think that you could save some public IPs if nothing else. Also, has anyone had any issues with MPLS/VPLS on the latest stable RouterOS version (6.38.1)? -Jason
