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. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell () dimension net Network Engineer (CCIE #3440) - Dimension Enterprises 1-703-709-7500, fax, 1-703-709-7699
