Re: How to loadshare over many E1 links

18 Sep 1998


      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:

	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.
