Bandwidth Aggregation for outbound connections

Scott Hanson

All,

 

In the Cisco router world if I have 2 100Mbps circuits that are NOT bonded together on the ISP side like a multilink circuit is there a way to combine these 2 circuits into a single 200Mbps "virtual" circuit?  Something like how Mushroom Networks Truffle device works but if there is a way to get it done without having to purchase additional equipment I would prefer to do it that way.  This is primarily to increase bandwidth for  outbound web access.  I am thinking I will be limited by the fact that any established session will not be able to be manipulated in the fashion where packet 1 goes out connection A and packet 2 from the same session goes out Connection B but I thought I would throw this out there to see if there was a new development.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.  All replies rated.

You can create two default static routes with the same AD/metric. Router will load-balance across both. You don't have to do packet-based ECMP. It can be flow-based.

 

HTH.

Thanks!  It seems that packet based ECMP will sometimes negatively impact voice traffic as it can cause packets to arrive out of order.  Will I have the same issue with Flow Based?

For voice, flow-based is better. 

Thanks.
