A while back we experimented with trunking VLANs over a Mikrotik backhaul, and *at the same time* putting the Mikrotiks themselves into a tagged 802.1q management VLAN. We had major problems with that. But yeah, just bridging 802.1q VLANs over the Mikrotiks while keeping the radios themselves

[WISPA] acceptable SWR for 2 foot dishes

Run what you require... If you need internal dynamic routing protocol for your network only just use ospf - bgp on top would be unnecessary and most likely problematic ran in this fashion. If you require bgp because you have clients that you want to peer with then fine... Scott Carullo
