Ok I currently have 2 routers going to core router up above. Both
routers are running CEF. And both are configured to run Load Balancing
Per Packet. So packets are being distributed evenly across 3 T-1s on
each side. Ok so now I am doing this at Layer 2. Customer currently had
an idea put in their head about IMA (Inverse Multiplexing). Well with
IMA I will be taking 3 T-1s and making them look like one giant pipe,
but it will fragment/Segment/chopup whatever you want to call it the
traffic and ship the data across all 3 physical pipes in a round-robin
fashion. This is done at the SAR level, if I am not mistaken. Layer 2
again, Right? What is the benefit to traffic? Latency/Delay
improvement? Still have inherent delays of T-1s. Anyone got any
feedback or ideas? Am I in left field.
