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.
