ATM load balancing question

[mimishaw]

What would be the best way to load balance ATM where there are 2 PVCs (one CBR and one VBR-RT). Currently the CBR PVC is used only one hour per day for videoconferencing and it would be good to load balance this PVC for the other 23 hours. I was looking at tag switching but don't know if this is the best way. Thanks.

Hello,

I am not sure if this works for ATM PVCs, but you could try a virtual template, this is a generic view of what it would look like:

interface ATM0/0/0.1 point-to-point

pvc 0/34

vbr 100 80

protocol ppp Virtual-Template1

interface ATM0/0/0.2 point-to-point

pvc 0/35

cbr 100 80

protocol ppp Virtual-Template1

interface Virtual-Template1

ip address 82.16.1.2 255.0.0.0

ppp multilink

As I said, I have not tried this in a live environment...

Regards,

Georg
