Re: [j-nsp] VPLS scalability question.. OTV answer?

Hi, On MX-Series you do not need any kind of tunnel services, nor deactivating any port. The LSIs are created on the run, and there is no limit - I have run a MX960 with 400 VPLS-Instances (independent, not vlan in a virtual switch) without any matter. Performance was almost linerate. Tom On 2

An Enhanced FPC is required, this is what was throwing me off. I guess I don't know what is enhanced and what isn't, its not very clear. I'm testing on m7i/m10i's using the non eCFEB, but I guess they are still new enough as it seems to work without it.. As this seems to work is the VPLS bandwidt

Yes it does take some ports and resources to do this. $ for $ the 7K density is still much cheaper than MX though. Anyone know if VPLS will be built into EX8200 or Qfabric (doubtful) in the future? On Sun, Mar 27, 2011 at 7:14 PM, Quinn Snyder wrote: > otv requires a unique vdc (virtual context

otv requires a unique vdc (virtual context) to run, plus the desired number of interfaces required to interconnect 'edge' with 'lan' contexts, as there is no backplane interconnect between contexts. oh, and vdc requires the advanced license (~$30k list). maximum number of vdc per n7k is 4, as the

2011-03-27 Thread Chris Evans
All the communication that we've received from Juniper is that they perceive MPLS and VPLS to be their answer to Cisco's OTV. I've been researching VPLS on the Juniper platforms and I cannot find any definite information as to how much it can scale performance/bandwidth wise. VPLS requires either a
