We run all our customers "ip unnumbered", whether it's E1/E3 or DSL customers. Since the first 64 kbit ISDN leased line... Exception: - customers on ethernet circuits - customers that require dynamic routing - customers with multiple circuits and failover (to be able to monitor the links independent of the customer service IPs) QoS, ACLs, etc. are tacked to the physical interface (or virtual, in case of DSL), never to the loopback. > I'm actually looking at options to restrict bcasts > between IP unnumbered serial interfaces too.

There is nothing in your router that would turn "all serial links on this box" into "a big broadcast domain", except if you configure a bridge group (which is not a good plan). > I know that IP unnumbered works in general; I'm just wondering if anyone > has already done it in production and ran into problems?
