I am looking for advice on setting up best practices for bonding multiple T1's. We have a customer that may need to bundle upwards of 8 T1's and I don't know if I should use CEF Ip load-sharing or MLPPP. Does anyone know what the overhead is with these or if this is possible.
I have been using MLPPP and it works just fine.Moreover u save on IP addresses an from any hassles of link flap or link down.The traffic is automatically distributed across the links and basically u get a bigger pipe..The only disadvantage i have seen is that u never get to knw whether ur link is down unless u manually check on the router itself coz most of the NMS work by polling the IP addresses of the interfaces an in MLPPP all the interfaces share the same IP assisned to the virtual interface of which all the physical interfaces are a memeber of.
