Load balancing between two sites

connie

Hi All

I have two remote sites in the same town. Both sites are linked back to our head office via two 192KB diginet lines. Both sites are also linked via a 192KB diginet line.

The problem is that the one site always uses 98% of its available bandwidth. The other site utilizes about 50 - 60% of its bandwidth, and the diginet line linking the two remote sites to each other is hardly ever used.

Is there a way that I can load balance between all these available lines to ensure propper utilization and spread of bandwidth?

Regards

What routers do you have on either sites. Are they capable of running CEF ? CEF is a Cisco proprietary switching technology. It helps in load balancing effectively. (CEF stands for Cisco Express Forwarding)

Forgot to mention that :-)

Let's break the sites down as follows:

Site A = Head office has a 2500 router

Site B = Remote site 1 (98% utilization) has a 2620 router

Site C = Remote site 2 (50 - 60% utilization) has a 4000 router

As far as I know, none of them can do CEF...
