Co-lo + 5 (or more) sites....connect 'em all

Has anyone installed ZT on an ER?

These options pretty much are static, it's been the same since colo began. You can get leased lines between the sites, you can use VPN to mimic leased lines, or you can not use LAN-based models and just connect over the Internet on an machine to machine, app to app basis.

I'm up to 3 sites for the moment. Once of them goes away in about 2 weeks.
I connect them all via ZeroTier.

@Aaron-Studer said in Co-lo + 5 (or more) sites....connect 'em all:
My question is why? Why setup ZT instead of site to site on all the devices?
I suppose one answer could be, because it's just a single setup, instead of 5 setups.

WTF?
FFS, the question is about connecting multiple colo's. Do you only have one thing in each colo? Most don't. The OP specifically mentioned multiple thigns.

How's the speeds between sites?

"The co-lo has all the gear (servers, voip, apps, file shares etc).
You have 5 (or more) sites that "connect" to the co-lo." -

Yes, the plan is an ER in front at all locations (that plan isn't set in stone)

We did this for a company from their colo but NOT with ZT, ERs using their native, much faster IPSec.

https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/115011377588-EdgeRouter-IPsec-Route-Based-VTI-Site-to-Site-VPNI've done both. No idea on speed difference. never ran in to router limits with both methods.

Ease of setup/ability to add more sites, one method vs the other?

Speeds were good. I don't remember what they were, but I transferred 1TB of stuff over ZT without any issues.
