need to build transparent bridge on wi-fi (point-to-point). 15km
one AP is RB411
second is RB433
there two way:
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Transparently_Bridge_two_Networks
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Transparently_Bridge_two_Networks_without_using_WDS_(EoIP)
how do that in better way?
need i to use wds on two AP?
There is also a third method:

thanx, looks good
following all instructions, see tunnel is runned
rb411 with:
ether1=192.168.88.1/24
wlan1=192.169.99.1/30
rb433 with:
ether1=192.168.88.2/24
wlan1=192.169.99.2/30
mpls ldp neighbor pr

but cant ping AP’s ether1 interface from station, and vice versa
in other words, no bridged traffic
version RouterOS 4.11
mpls works great. thanks again
found fourth method: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Pseudobridge
seems to simplest way
but what about performance?
what choose: mpls or pseudobridge?
If you have two choices and one is based on a standard and the other one is a proprietary solution, choose the first one.
In other words, go for MPLS.
maybe but pseudobridge is on ~25% faster
Interesting, we just made a MPLS+Nstreme bridge and will be testing the speed after the installation tomorrow.
If there will be time, the pseudobrige will be also tested, after all a translated text is never to be disrigarded.
