[j-nsp] Design issue when dual homing customer edge equipment to 2 different pop locations

[Mohammad]

Hi Matt,

 

I used to run VPLS multihoming in my network, I used LDP based VPLS between
the MX routers, not BGP based VPLS, that based on our tests LDP based VPLS
convergence time (MAC flush) was much faster than BGP based.

The loop prevention mechanism I used was vstp, that it gives the ability to
control the blocking per vlan not the whole physical link; I used to run
vstp on MX using layer2 control routing instance.

 

Hope it is helpful.
