A business wants to refresh its legacy Frame Relay WAN. It currently has product specialists in each of its 200 branches but plans to reduce and consolidate resources. The goal is to have product…

DMVPN Phase 1 is a hub-and-spoke design where spoke-to-spoke traffic must traverse the hub, introducing latency and bandwidth constraints unsuitable for high-quality video.

Layer 3 MPLS VPN hub and spoke routes all inter-branch traffic through a central hub, creating a single point of congestion that degrades real-time video performance.

Layer 2 VPLS extends a single bridged LAN across sites and does not natively provide the routed any-to-any scalability needed for 200 branches with optimal video pathing.

A Layer 3 MPLS VPN full mesh creates any-to-any logical connectivity between all 200 sites, allowing direct virtual circuits between each branch and any consolidated specialist location. This eliminates the hub bottleneck that would degrade real-time video quality and latency. Full mesh is the appropriate topology when multiple sites need simultaneous, peer-to-peer communication such as video conferencing.
