Use dot1q type link-groups towards the core!

Not a better choice!
We have the same problems with SSR8004 and SSR8010. There are more dependencies on the card types (not all cards can deliver all the features). Additionally you can configure MPLS load-balancing and the software (IPOS) does simply NOTHING (confirmed by Ericsson) !

I think we need to find a design which respect the needs of Ericssons load distribution algorithm. For example using multiple IP-Endpoints for Tunnels, MPLS etc. so the “Endpoint-based” load sharing does work.
