Hi, We have a new requirement to load balance across a couple of point to point ethernet links. The previous solution was handled by a few TDM circuits and MLPPP so that traffic was load balanced and any fragmentation/reassembly was handled by ML/PPP. Load balancing per flow is not really an option because we have a single IPSec tunnel (ESP-mode) and there is Layer 4 information to make a better decision to balance the load. I have been considering the use of L2TPv3 or an MPLS Pseudowire as a potential solution as they seem to have mechanisms to ensure packets are not misordered. I would appreciate any feedback/suggestions that the community can offer. Best, -Doug
