Hi,

Im just looking for some advice. I have a Mikrotik x86 that I has vpns to about 20-30 sites.

Question1)
Which VPN type is going to be the best for me to use pptp,sstp,l2tp, ipsec? There is not alot of traffic flowing through the vpn but there is a fair amount, mostly just snmp stuff.

Question2)
All this VPN traffic goes over 1 Internet connection, is it possible for me to equally limit each vpn interfaces bandwidth over the internet link?

Thanks

I would use pptp or l2tp. If you need to use IPSec for security I would run it over the pptp or l2tp.

In /ppp profile you can set a rate limit on each profile. If all of your sites are on one profile you could set the limit for all sites very easily.

Thanks

MPLS/VPLS layer 2 or layer 3 is the best and fastest form of vpn, rest add overhead per packet where mpls is only 4 bytes per packet where GRE add up to 40
