Haven't really done much experimentation with that in this context - I can imagine that VPLS would be more effective over WAN type 'cloud' networks, but not sure if it makes so much difference over a p2p link with just two endpoints :-} Cheers! Mike.

Hey Mike,
Have you tried/had any experience using VPLS in place of EoIP tunnels? I had looked into it previously - the configuration is different but according to MikroTik the CPU overhead is much less.

Hi Jason!
Good question!
My take on it is that although nv2 in conjunction with MT proprietary station-bridge mode seems to be more forgiving with respect to passing 'unmolested' packets EoIP does still have a 'safety' benefit of also preserving the original 802.3 ethernet frames transparently, and without any translation across the wireless L2 - of course the actual physical frames are still 802.11 wireless, but the original Ethernet frame is carried in original form. Thus /everything/ about the original Ethernet layer data is preserved, now and (supposedly ;) in future.
That's why we still use the EoIP model for our point-point pre-configurations of wireless bridge kits :-}
Cheers!
Mike.

Hi Mike
I was just looking at your EoIP article
https://shop.duxtel.com.au/article_info.php?articles_id= 45&osCsid=s28vgpu oilh98ipnv19b17qa80
and was thinking about how it relates to NV2 nowadays. My experience has shown that NV2 seems to support priorities (based on DSCP with a mangle rule) and also I can pass VLAN tagged traffic over it without any issues (I am told this wasn't always the case). With a pure PtP link is it necessary to use your supplied PtP/EoIP scripts or will NV2 do the job just fine now seeings as it seems to pass bridge ethernet frames unmolested?
