<P><FONT SIZE=2>If I understand correctly you have only LERs and no LSRs? In our network we use all our MLX as LER and LSR without any problems - we also use a the same ring topology you suggested. The main thing to note is that you can't run MPLS network facing interfaces on VLAN/VEs as with your existing l2 ring. You need separate physical interfaces east-west on your ring just for IP/MPLS.<BR>

Subject: [f-nsp] MPLS without P Router<BR>
<BR>
Hi,<BR>
<BR>
Anyone has experience with deploying MPLS but without putting any<BR>
Provider (P) Router ? Let assume that there are only small numbers of<BR>
NetIron MLX/XMR Routers act as Provider Edge (PE) Router and which are<BR>
connected as a L2 Ring.<BR>
<BR>
Best regards,<BR>
