:)) there are more MAC addresses than IP addresses :) though VPLS may answer a lot of these questions I feel. The question is never what the "provider feels". The provider is just a "means to an end". If the end user feels ethernet is cheaper, he will prefer it and all happy providers will provide it. For that matter in my country, there is a large scale ethernet last mile for Internet services itself at as cheap as 5$ a month. Some of these guys NAT you too, and it works out just fine for customer access. --- sthaug@nethelp.no wrote: > > For that matter I dont even see what the PE does > > > > why not simply stack VLANs /or/use ethernet in > > ethernet and do away with the PE routers? > > Feel free to try.
