Bridging the same subnet

There is a quite old document I follow when I have to bridge a subnet via wireless link:
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Transparently_Bridge_two_Networks_using_MPLS
Is it still the best method ??
Thank you

This is good if your bridge needs to be really transparent, i.e. including VLAN tags and with the actual hardware
being invisible.
When you want to bridge only a single VLAN (untagged VLAN or 1 tag) you can use a VLAN as the tunnel as well.

Quite old post…

Using this method , what’s the difference other than “transparency” from bind wlan1 and ethernet into a local bridge in each unit ?? (bandwidth, latency ecc.)

Thank you !

I’m again on this old post , thinking at this method over the “new” 802.11ac protocol: still valid for bridging the same subnet or something better is available ?

Thank you

WDS is the simplest and most common way of doing this. There is no need for setup MPLS to bridge 2 networks.

Ok for WDS,
But I was surprised by wiki saying :

The MPLS/VPLS approach has some advantages:

VPLS tunnel is about 60% faster and less overhead than EoIP tunnel
802.11n speed is limited over WDS bridges, this method doesn’t have such limitations

It should be interesting to know which configuration has been used in preconfigured “wireless wire”/“wireless wire dish”

Anybody knows ?
