MPLS FAT Label

MPLS FAT Label

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 

This thread dives into MPLS and the infamous “fat label” debate, and it’s a great example of how seemingly small technical choices spark long discussions among folks who really care about network design and performance — people debating forwarding behavior versus control plane assumptions gets surprisingly deep (community.extremenetworks.com). It’s a good reminder that in complex systems, simple defaults aren’t always the best fit, and clarity in tools matters. That idea actually carries over to everyday habits too: using a straightforward intermittent fasting tracker helps you focus on consistency instead of overcomplicating things. I’ve been using https://wellness-app.com/ and it’s refreshingly simple, which makes sticking with it way easier than some of the bloated alternatives.

Hi Henrique.

Can you let me know whether would it be possible to do using x460(not x460-g2)?
I have a core with more than 4 of them, and I couldn't do that, I've been lost in find out some solution for my Extreme Network, otherwise I would have to replace those one.

tks

Could you please share your network diagram and point where the balancing is not working as expected?

This will help us to have a better insight.

Thanks.
