In article <19980918095708.B10051@skriver.dk> you write:
How would you loadshare over many (>6) parallel E1 links. Currently we do it by connecting them directly to the Cisco's in each end, and do CEF based per-packet loadsharing, it works fine, but support a max of 6 E1's ...
Cisco has a nice white paper on this: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/733/adap/multi/althb_wp.htm
I think Multilink PPP may be your answer, as it goes up to 8 links. There is a CPU hit though, I've never tried Multilink on a high speed interface so I don't know how bad it might affect the router.
