Hi,
On QFX5100 the L2TP/Q-in-Q services has limitations. I have to dig
through my pile of tickets for details... but I remember something
about PVST+ packets not being forwarded at all.
So we just switched everything to MPLS/l2circuits/VLAN CCC (for
now) instead of battling with the QFX5100 platforms. We'll deploy
EVPN/VXLAN to our customers once we find a solution but we're not in a rush.
PS: I heard a rumor that there is a fix in 18.x for the QFX5100...
To note that the QFX5110 platform do not seem to be suffering from
the same issues... I suggest to get a demo to confirm the functionality.

Hey,
The Q-in-Q encapsulation comes from the EX2300 switches to the QFX switches
(the S-VLAN Q-in-Q tag is also 1001), but on the other end of the tunnel we
don't have the Q-in-Q frames coming.
I am curious if the packets don't leave the ingress VTEP at all or the
tail-end VTEP can't treat them.
"ping -f -s 1000" and "monitor interface traffic" can help to figure out
where the packets are dropped. And if the VXLAN packets leave the
core-facing interface of the ingress VTEP, I'd suggest to put a sniffer in
the middle and take a look at the packets closely.
Not that I am sure that it will work but... Juniper explicitly says that
it's supported on all Trident2/2+/3-based switches in the very very fresh
JUNOS (make sure that you don't miss this point).
I suspect that it's not a honest Q-in-Q-in-VXLAN but some cheating, e. g.
pop the VLAN tags and push them back on the other side, while VXLAN tunnel
carries untagged / single-tagged frames. (Yes this requires per-vlan
tunnels and might not work for your need).
This is how VLAN-based Martini pseudowires work on those switches (even on
EX4550, if memory serves). It's officially supported in EX-to-EX/QFX-to-QFX
mode, where it works out-of-the-box, while in case where you have an
MX-like router on the other end, you need to manually push/pop VLAN tags
and disable control-word on the MX side (discussed many times in this list).
