The best way is likely either some eompls solution or l2tpv3.
Customers may have a higher than ip sla requirement in mind as it will
appear to them as a p2p Ethernet/private line solution.

Hello all. I'm with a company offering colocation services in the
seattle area. Typically, we provide our bandwidth to customers, but
I've had a rash of customers lately asking for connections directly
to certain providers in the Westin. We are connected to the Westin
via our IP network, but I'm stuck trying to come up with the best
way to get layer 2 from another carrier to our customer.
Here's a simplified diagram showing the links, etc. between customer
and the outside the way we currently have it. Apologies to those
with variable-width fonts... ;)
Customer
|
Our Switch (port is assigned VLAN)
|
| (802.1q trunk)
|
+ <--- customer gateway IP address
Our Router
+ <--- x.x.x.1/30 address
|
| (WAN Fiber Link)
|
+ <--- x.x.x.2/30 address
Our Router
|
Carrier
In this current situation, what's the best (if any) method for a
customer to get a connection "directly" from the carrier, where the
customer gets an IP address from them in the classic /30 kind of
way? I can change our network, but probably not in vast overarching
ways.
I've got some ideas but I'm purposefully leaving the question a
little open-ended. I know my description is a little sparse, but
I'm trying to not give you too many details to complicate the
fundamental question.
Thanks in advance!
