[c-nsp] L2 Rings

[Mohammad Khalil]

Basically the service we have is WiMAX and Leased Lines services

at the mean time there is VPN services to be given 

so i am searching for what is the best solution Layer 3 or Layer 2 ? and
 if Layer 2 should i use MST and PVST or use VPLS instead ?

It mostly depends on your requirements.  I would avoid STP in general these days.  MST and RPVST operate much more efficiently and converge faster because of the RSTP standards.  VPLS has the added benefit of allowing link and node protection as well as spanning the topology across a wide area.  It really depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
