Switch Interconnection Strategies

IEEE 802.1q VLANs separate traffic in LAAP

One VLAN for exchange; separate VLANs for private peers and transit connections

Per VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST); Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1w) on 10Gb BigIron 8000s

Super Aggregated VLANs (SAVs) transport multiple VLANs across single LAAP VLAN

Switch Interconnection Strategies (con’t.)

Separate VLAN for Jumbo framesNo restrictions on multicast or IPv6Interconnects with other exchanges:

shut down Spanning Tree; do MAC filtering with static MAC forwarding, operate as part of exchange Spanning Tree Cloudprovide separate VLAN

We are open to any other strategies
