They are expensive but I can get a decent discount if you can’t find a good online price.

The simple methods won't work right. I hate sharing unequal paths because it takes a simple job and makes it a hard one. I don't know what those Peplink things cost, but if Dennis can do it with Mikrotik and supply you a configuration script to run on the CPE then you could use those $100 RB2011's. You are assuming correctly.

That would make it way too easy. But if I want to do 100 of these, with a NOC and 100 subs, I don’t want to have discrete devices on both ends of each circuit. Prefer to use link aggregation of some sort that would function kinda like a PMP radio protocol. So one big something at the NOC that can know how to handle dual paths to a CPE.

If you can control the network on both ends (with a Mikrotik also at the upstream side), that makes your life easier. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com <https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL> <https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions> <https://twitter.com/ICSIL> ________________________________ From: "Chuck McCown via Af" mailto:[email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, November 6, 2014 10:29:58 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Cheap and dirty bonding Need to probably hit 50 Mbps.

I’ve got a couple of older ones I’ll sell you but they are limited to 10-15Mbps. rory From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike Hammett via Af Sent: Thursday, November 6, 2014 9:26 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Cheap and dirty bonding Is Luthman here? I bet if you bought him a Giordano's pizza, he'd do it. :-p www.routerboard.com They have everything from $50 "SOHO" style routers on up to $1,200 Dual SFP+ (and others) boxes. How networking knowledgeable are you? http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Load_Balancing There's a TON of stuff in their WIKI. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com <https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL> <https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions> <https://twitter.com/ICSIL> ________________________________ From: "Chuck McCown via Af" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, November 6, 2014 10:22:07 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Cheap and dirty bonding Yeah, I anticipated that answer. I have next to zero experience with MT. Not to say I am not willing to learn. So, what exactly would it take? Just the router? Do those things come in nice consumer grade cases? Seems to me the last time I had one it was a bare PCB. (Back in 2003)... How about a bill of materials, a configuration listing, perhaps come and set it up for me and teach us a class... We would buy the pizza...

I have control over both ends of both circuits. Same IP space etc. Just don’t know if there is a low cost solution that could be applied to only the customer’s end.
