Hi Paul, Agreed, however, with the load-balancing export mentioned earlier, JunOS does per-flow balancing, hence, any particular session (such as a VoIP call and a stream of UDP packets) will always use the same path; thus they will still arrive in the same order at the destination router. =) Dif

Hi Hamid, As both Chuck and Leigh have stated, you CAN use GRE tunnels to do this, however, you will run into MTU size issues by doing this. You will also need tunneling/Adaptive Services/MultiServices PICs (or ASM cards if it's an M7i were dealing with) to do gre tunneling. The far "cleaner"

Hi Samit, No, LACP is supported on any ethernet (not sure about really old ones) interfaces. Any relatively new Catalist should support LACP as well, if you are going to use SX optic on juniper, use SX on cisco as well :) Regards, Jeff > -Original Message- > From: Samit [mailto:[EMAIL PR

Hi Peter. The customer doesn't plug directly into an IP interface. They must first traverse a layer 2 network, and eventually cross a shared q-in-q trunk where it's imperative that VLANs are unique per customer (which we have to manage, to ensure VLANs are unique). Return traffic must be tagge

Hi Eugeniu, I see 2 mistake in your configuration : - you use the same route-distinguisher on the pe-1 and pe-2 - the interface connected to ce-1 / ce-2 is configured with the unit 0. In Junos you have to use unit from 512 to 4095 to the ccc encapsulation. Once you have change this said us if it

Hi, I'm the process of learning MPLS and so far I figured out how L3 VPNs work, but I got stuck on L2 VPNs. I have a lab that consists of 2 CE devices (in form of netscreen SSGs) and 4 routers (2 of them as PE and two of them as P). the diagram is pretty stright forward: ce-1 --- pe-1 --- m7i-1
