Bridge via EoIP vs VPLS

RouterOS General

Hi All,

My telco provides me with a L3 MPLS circuits between my sites. I’d like to extend some L2 between these sites. My telco won’t do this for me so I’ll use some CCRs I have spare.

I can do this easily using EoIP however reading this article they state the VPLS method will be faster.

Is this the case given EoIP now uses fastpath?

Don’t you want to have traffic crypted (say IPSec)? If so, fastpath won’t work.

MPLS will provide you with “personal” interlink, but then, the traffic goes over ISP network so you may want to protect it anyway, and CCRs are good at it.
