[cisco-voip] OT: Multiple MPLS providers

[Fuermann, Jason]

I'm not sure if this will apply to the network level, but I know on the physical level ATT will get us where we need to go, even if it's in another carriers area. They call it a meet-me. Basically, they order service from the other carrier to get the last mile transit.

If they don't cooperate they can get you to use their network not just in the 90% of locations that work well, but in the other 10% as well.  Realistically, for only a single site I'd say just bite the bullet and go with the same carrier.  If you have multiple locations with a justifiable reason to use a different carrier, working out transit on your own may not be the end of the world.

Curses. That's what I thought, why would the Telco's get along with each other. :)

I can't think of an instance where the vendors would cooperate and link to each other.  If you want vendor to vendor transit, you're going to have to create the transit network yourself.

Does anyone know if you can have multiple MPLS provider's network between different providers route between each other? As an example I have 15 sites connected via ATT MPLS. I want this new site to use a QUEST MPLS circuit due to some other requirements. Is it possible to have the QUEST and ATT MPLS networks connected from the vendors? Such as a Network to Network Interface at the TELCO level? I don't want a QUEST MPLS circuit at my main location if I can avoid it.
