I totally get what you mean about MT. We've got some ROS boxes doing good service, but then I tried a pair of 951s at home and had to take them out, as they just don't stay up. It's not uniform, and you get what you get. Vyatta doesn't compile in MPLS so EdgeOS doesn't have it. Vyatta is now Brocade so I don't know how flexible they'll be. VLANing is of no use. That provides a degree of protection against interception, but no QoS and no protection against DDoS. And it's kind of ugly. Not that MPLS isn't ugly, but until RINA is ready it can sort of work. > Have you ever tried to convince them there is a bug? > > On Jan 8, 2013, at 18:46, Fred Goldstein <fgoldst...@ionary.com> wrote: > >> On 1/8/2013 6:23 PM, Andrew Jones wrote: >>> I'm not so sure that MPLS support is being worked on.
