I have to provision several dozen * users to a seperate building on our campus in the same subnet. Ordinarily, I'd just run a gigabit cat6 cable to another switch if it doesn't violate the 100 metre rule, but this building is several hundred metres away from my backbone. My only option for cabling to the remote building is copper. My plan is to provision them with a Linux bridge with 4 NIC's: 1 gigabit to the backbone, and three bonded together as a single interface (90 mbit aggregate), then plugged into this dealie:

I'm pretty sure this will work for data no problem, but I'm a little concerned about latency on a timing-sensitive applicaiton like VoIP. Anyone have experience with VoIP over bonded link? Is there a gotcha? Is this a stupid idea? On my whiteboard it looks fine! _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
