Load Sharing VPLS end

[Julian_Eble]

Hello Community,

I'm having headache about the load-balance on Aggreation Ports.

Our scenery is a MPLS network who the end point are connected by Juniper Routers.
These connections are 10G (20g agg) and have one VLAN VPLS tagged end-by-end.
The traffic doesn't get balanced even when I change the hash-algorithm and the balance type.

Is there any problem using VPLS and LACP?
Extreme introduced the load-sharing VPLS but I think that useful just for the trunk LACP/MPLS, isn't?

Thanks,
Julian Eble

Hi Henrique,
Topology is in previous post.
Traffic goes from PE01 to PE02. And vice versa.
Balancing is not happening on sharing groups 2:1 on both Extreme switches to Junipers.

Is there a way to attach config file?

[Henrique]

Hi Anatoly, could you please share a topology (including all uplinks) and the MPLS configuration for both X670G2s? Also, please point in the diagram where the balancing is not happening.

Thanks.
