Bridging the Gap: VXLAN's Point-to-Multipoint Advantage for ISPs with MikroTik
MikroTik’s RouterOS VXLAN support delivers a scalable, flexible solution for ISPs looking to bridge the gap between traditional Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking by encapsulating Ethernet over routed infrastructure, enabling efficient point-to-multipoint connectivity without the complexity and limitations of fully meshed Layer 2 designs. With easy configuration, cost-effective hardware options, and compatibility with modern network architectures, VXLAN on RouterOS provides ISPs with a powerful tool for building resilient, high-performance networks.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Using VXLAN vs. VPLS in RouterOS 7

VXLAN and VPLS both solve the same business problem for ISPs—delivering Layer 2 services across a routed network—but they do it in very different ways. If you are expanding a modern RouterOS 7 network, the choice you make directly impacts scalability, operational complexity, MTU planning, and long-term flexibility. Our latest article breaks down the practical advantages and tradeoffs of VXLAN versus VPLS, with an ISP-focused lens on performance, design patterns, and real-world deployment considerations.

If you are planning multi-site transport, customer VLAN delivery, or a next-generation “Layer 2.5” architecture, this comparison will help you select the right tool and avoid expensive redesigns later. Click Details for the full article.
