mpls over microwave

Fri Feb 6 16:11:46 UTC 2015

We run MPLS over wireless links of all kinds quite extensively. The key is to make sure that packet loss is at a minimum (duh), and to ensure that your wireless links have a large enough MTU to pass the additional bytes for each label. Other than that, we treat the wireless links as wires.

Hey,

We run few mpls links ( 7600s/3600s on the mpls side mostly ) over Ceragon wireless gear. Nothing too fancy, I just treat them as switches ( or even just "cables" for some boxes,  not doing mac learning at all ). No issues whatsoever on the networking side.

My thoughts and words are my own.

Kind Regards,

Spyros
