There is a wiki article showing how to move two VPLS connect6ions over to ADSL links using BPG… which I try to avoid. The article is at http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Transparently_Bridge_two_Networks_using_MPLS_extended. I am no so much a specialisst at BGP (so to say), and it can get complicated with the route reflector necesary or a single point of failure… I would rather linke the self healing OSPF setup.
I am in a situation where I am putting up a virtual network mesh (over the internet). Some outside sitautions connecting to a central location, but some locations get multiple uplinks, sometimes on different close geographical locations with a wireless link between. The later is thanks to the really nice prices Mikrotik has for the SXT… makes certain setups very nice finncially.
- Can I use OSPF to distribute VPLS? An article seems to indicate.
Main satellite office situation: Given are 2 ADSL links, 450 against a central 1100AH. I want to use a combined Bonding interface to bundle the bandwidth (there is some file serving from there occasionally, so the combined bandwith is nice).
- Can I use OSPF to put up and (with TE tunnels) distribute the load on both ADSL links? The idea is to have 2 VSPF using ether-3, the other ether-4, then bond them. If using pure LDP the issue is only one link is ever used.
- How do I handle slave outages in the bonding? I wonder because in my eyyes when VPLS sees the link is down, it should comunicate this up to the bonding interface
Does it so? Or do I still need ARP “magic” (i.e. link monitoring) to handle the bonding in case of single link outages)?
