[AusNOG] 1+1 ports

In my experience, normally you'll see two diverse point to point EoMPLS
services before they'll look at  VPLS solution in these cases.

Hi,

 

I'm trying to find out if there are any carriers out there who provide 2
ports at each end for a point to point Ethernet circuit? (VPLS)

 

I'm trying to build some redundancy into a network, I've asked our carrier
if they can provide 2 ports at each end  to mitigate a switch failure on our
end and they've essentially said no, buy another service identical to what
you've already got if you want to do that. I don't need anymore bandwidth,
just separate physical interfaces to run on.

 

Speaking to other people in the industry, it seems the norm for carriers to
provide the service over 2 physical ports if requested (obviously for a
price). I'm curious if other people have been able to get this configuration
on PTP Ethernet circuits ?

 

Just chasing info at the moment, possibly I need to jump ship to get what I
want, or maybe I'm just dreaming and it's a technical reason why it cant be
done.

 

Regards,

 

Daniel
