Re: OT: Network Virtualization: MPLS VPN.....

Thanks for your response. The 12.4 was a typo, I actually meant 12.2.

 I did actually simulate 3725 with dynamips for RnS, but my intent is to
build a campus switch topology, we know dynamips dont do well with regards
to switching.

Thanks though, i might be able to prove my concept in dynamips as well, I
will definately look into that option, all part of my research.
