Scott,
Typically in this scenario I would recommend one of two things:
1) Use an MPLS VLL/L2-psuedowire with a secondary failover endpoint on one
side.
Only some equipment vendors implement this (Juniper being one of them)
2) Use a PPPoE pado delay. Set one BRAS to be some decent amount high
I assume you're using MikroTik.
You can run multiple PPPoE servers on a single Ethernet segment. The client
will send its PPPoE Active Discovery Initiation (PADI) packet, and both servers
will reply with their PPPoE Active Discovery Offer (PADO). The client will then
select which AC it wants to
Thx both of you for the replies. We're using ImageStream routers. I've
