MPLS FAT Label

[Julian_Eble]

Hello,

By reading this article http://packetpushers.net/fat-or-entropy-label/ I've been wondering if Extreme could implement something like that (FAT Label)?

Some l2vpn circuit are getting 10Gbps and the outer interfaces port channels aren't handling it well.

Thanks 

When I started to test it I also failed and then I figured out that LSP sharing doesn't work with unknown unicast traffic:

So make sure that traffic which you trying to load-balance is bidirectional.

Hello Konstantin,

It's odd because I did the same thing in my lab and couldn't get the same result. What version did you use in that test enviroment?
Another thing, is that I'm waiting for xos0066476 to be solved, isn't save to use rsvp in the current working network.

Hi Julian,
did you try to use "l2vpn sharing" feature?
Please check examples from discussion on a link below. It might help you to solve the problem.

Keep in mind that that feature has some limitations:

There is another GTAC article that might help:

Hi Julian,

have looked at the GTAC Knowledge article Incorrect load sharing on MPLS P-node?
