The problem of the broadcast we are considering because the number of customers is increasing considerably. Our network is private and only we work on it. The CPEs are now 400 and IP address are private.
Our choice of network bridge is because we have only one PPPoE server and we want to avoid complicated configurations to work with MPLS on network routed or something like this.
We are a small WISP and we are considering how to adapt our network while the number of customers becomes greater.
At the moment we have a single fiber link so we have no need for any special routing protocol.
Thanks for your advice.

Grazie bajodel,
currently we have vlans for wireless bridges but I thought to create vlans also for customers but the devices number is too high, I understand that is not a good idea, some other idea?

1) How much broadcast do you have now?
2) Are cpe on your exclusive/full control ?
3) Describe briefly your core network..
4) Is actual cpe addressing (/30 mentioned) private/public?
