Re: [nznog] Another Brocade question for my favorite mailing list
CES/CER can handle 1000 LSPs (lsp tunnels) before they stop making new ones. This can be an issue if you're letting your entire Cisco LDP domain pollute them. MLX would be a good order of magnitude larger but I don't have a specific figure.
Have tested and used MTUs of 9000+ for VLL with no issues.
Have tested and used MTUs of 4000+ for VPLS with some issues although this is the smaller CES platform and there may have been some feature gap in the Ironware version I was using at the time (MLX will have more features around this).
QinQ works fine if you do port mode VLLs. Also have tested it working in a "raw" VPLS environment (port mode again). In case that’s not clear, port mode would be where you have all client ports as untagged.
Raw mode every time if you ever want to do inter-op. This will set the VC-type to 5 and indicates that the port is transparent – from memory Cisco have this as a default in IOS.

AS far as I can see from the MLX datasheet, 64,000 RSVP-TE LSPs are supported
