Hello: I think this is pretty provider-specific. However, we are doing this right now with a particular vendor using their flavor of RPR. The ring uses Q in Q tunneling in the core and all switches communicate directly to one another using .1Q encapsulated frames. Mike

Hi, This is probably a fairly simply question, I'm probably just not quite groking the layers involved here. If I had the following setup: Endstation A -- Switch A === RPR Ring === Switch B -- Endstation B could there be a VLAN setup such that Endstations A and B are both in
it,
and can communicate as if they are on the same LAN segment? (And I
mean
natively. ie. not using an MPLS VPN). ie. Will the switches involved tranlate the different framing formats in use? Is this vendor
dependent?
