I'm embarking on a new project which involves a large scale MAN network =
where ultimately, the objective is to carry QinQ, while at the same time =
delivering services over IPv6.
The objective is to support jumbo frames on all interfaces, at least to =
carry QinQ standard-size ethernet frames, but ideally as large as =
possible
There seem to be 4 approaches to do this.
a) The IEEE PBB-TE approach - but little implementations.
b) The MEF9+14 approach, mature, but manual provisioning
c) The VPLS approach, concerns with too much manual provisioning.
d) The T-MPLS approach, concerns with maturity
The objective is to support the functionality not only in the CORE, but =
also on cost effective multi-tenant & redundant customer CPEs.
I have not seen a, or b or d supported in a low-cost customer CPE.
I am currently favouring c, for reasons of maturity and wide =
implementation, but may be missing on recent progresses in the b) land.
Any thoughts ?
Any published IETF material on the topic ?
