Hi.
We have (2) Metro Ethernet connections from two different carriers
connecting our two locations at the moment. We need to provide for
redundancy at the L2 level for these, and would like to combine the
bandwidth into one logical bundle.
We will be using Cisco switches on both sides of

EtherChannel can be used if, and only if, both carriers tunnels the

Well, actually one *could* run static EtherChannel (A.K.A. 'mode on')

It should work, but with EtherChannel you can only load balance based on
src,dst mac/ip/port ( depending on your hardware ). The only problem I
forsee is that the port-channel will not know when your 600Mbit shaped link
is at capacity, and will continue to try and send frames over it when your
