[cisco-bba] Multiple virtual circuits over single link

[Vince Mammoliti]

It would be L2TP with in L2TP tunnel.

So tunnel in a tunnel. Would need to adjust your MTU, but could work.

At the moment we do in fact use a GRE tunnel that terminates on a firewall
connecting to the customers network. It does work, but would be ideal if it
were 'cleaner' in the sense that it just had it's own VC.

As for L2TP. I'm not 100% sure how that will work. Currently BT carry all
traffic from the CPE to my LNS over an L2TP tunnel. How would I run L2TP on
top of that?

One option would be to do a GRE or L2TP tunnel from the Customer CPE device.

Darren, 

It is technically possible, but as you do not operate the last mile (BT...),
not sure what services they could offer.

What you could do is create an IP overlay over the regular IP uplink... So
you have the PPPoE session for connectivity and the main service, and then
use a GRE tunnel terminating in the other service VRF on the CE device to
tunnel the traffic to where it should go on your infrastructure.
If you need Layer 2 extension, you could look at L2TPv3
