Hello,
I want to use a pair of Cisco 2821 routers, each with 3 WICS (VWIC2-2MFT-T1/E1) connecting a total of 6 T1 lines to create a 9Mbs point-to-point link between two offices.
I want all lines to be load balanced so that any user could potentially use most of the bandwidth.
My understanding is that I can use CEF and enable ip load-sharing per-packet on each interface in order to accomplish this.
Can anyone confirm, based on experience, that this is a sound plan?
If this basic idea is sound, what options are available for setting priorties by MAC or Client IP address or otherwise limiting/controlling the burst rates?
Multilink PPP seems to load-balance based on IP address, and therefore, if my understanding is correct, no ip conversation would be capable of exceeding 1.5Mbs. Is this correct?
I appreciate any assistance you can offer.
