Thank you all for your replies. Can anyone elaborate on the type 4 vs type 5 type L2 over MPLS part here - and which would not work - I'm guessing type 5 would be more compatible?
We buy a mix of both types - controlled by our upstream providers. We get some circuits delivered on a trunk up to the ISP - which then breakout via vlan to different customers, I'm guessing these are type 4. I don't have the kit to test this at present - simulating the ISP L2 connection.

In terms of throughput its line speed or near enough to not distinguish....we're doing it on 10Gb links. Be aware though that any WAN carriers that might be doing tagged MPLS stuff have to support the protocol.... our initial circuit was such and MACSEC didn't work - temp fix was ipsec/gre. alan ________________________________ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
