hopefully this works...first time posting to the list
one option might be to do an L2VPN or VPLS type solution where you tunnel the
MPLS traffic over a GRE tunnel (only necessary if the intermediate network
can't/doesn't run MPLS). I think someone might have mentioned that previously
as well.
The only problem you might run into is MTU and fragmentation related because of
the extra overhead of the MPLS labels and GRE tunnel over the intermediate
network. If you leave the MTU at the defaults, packets with the DF bit set
will be dropped and so far as I can tell (unless it changed with 10.0+), a
J-Series or SRX can not clear the DF bit as it enters a GRE tunnel. I think
the higher end M / MX can though if you are using those.
However if you can raise the MTU of all the intermediate links, then you can
alleviate that problem.
I have a config example of this working if you need one.
good luck, whichever route you choose
Will

Hi Group,
Well I have a slight confession to make. When I initially asked the question,
it was based on the assumption that Cisco provided this. But they don't.
I had played with bridging over frame relay way back, and somehow this
became GRE in my mind. Sorry about the mistake.
So now im looking into L2TP as an alternative.
But the One-Access 1221 & 1424 are supporting ethernet over GRE.
Kind Regards,
Peter Krupl
