[j-nsp] MPLS transport / 1GE-LH

[Cody Lerum]

This brings up an issue that I have been playing with. IF you are
running mpls lsps over an Ethernet network. What should the media MTU be
set to in order to make things as transparent as possible. The config
below has 1568, and I'm curious how you came to that number.

Ethernet	= 1514
MPLS Shim	= 4
VLAN-CCC	= 21	(Largest according to Juniper)
-----------------------------------------------
Total		= 1539


-C

Basic port mode Martini tunnel, one end (we have several of these):

interfaces {
    fe-0/3/0 {
        mtu 1568;
        encapsulation ethernet-ccc;
        unit 0;
    }
}

protocols {
    ldp {
        interface lo0.0;
    }
    l2circuit {
        neighbor a.b.c.d {
            interface fe-0/3/0.0 {
                virtual-circuit-id 42;
            }
	}
    }
}

Also, you need LSPs between the routers - these can be setup using
either LDP or TE/RSVP.

Given that there is both PB-1GE-LH and PB-1GE-LX-B in the price list,
and the latter specifically mentions "supports CCC-for-VLANs" while the
former does not (and correspondingly for the PE- PICS), I would
definitely check with JTAC if you have the PB-1GE-LH or the PE-1GE-LH.
