Yep, we're bonding DSL with MLPPP as well, with direct PVCs through Verizon. Caveat: we generally see only about 80% performance rates (i.e. if [4] 1Mbps circuits are bonded together, we get 3.2Mbps throughput). Have not found a way to improve this. Using Cisco gear on both ends. -

IIRC mikrotik uses that for its winbox/mac telnet availability broadcasts. Perhaps ubnt does something similar in AirOS? If you check cdp on a cisco switch you can discover quite a bit of detail on all the mikrotiks connected to it. Randy Cosby *sent from my tmobile dash* -Original

If you look on a MikroTik in it's neighbor list you will be able to not only see other MikroTiks but also Cisco units as well Ubnt units since the Neighbor viewer solution uses the CDP protocol. Helpful to allow you to discover a lost units ip etc. Pretty cool under used tool that many are not

Hi, That's not good news... when we use Cisco CEF and per-packet load balancing, we get the full speed. We currently have a customer that has 4 bonded 4Mbps DSL lines, and they get 16Mbps any time they run a speed test. And, now that I think about it, at one of our very remote POP's, we have

Ok, now we know what it is and does. Our network currently is primarily Tranzeo AP's, CPE's and backhaul with Linksys routers behind the CPE's. Recently a half of dozen Ubnt units have been installed and concurrent with these installations we have been experiencing ARP table corruption in both

I'm glad this subject has come up! I've got two ATT T1's. At their request, we run Cisco CEF with per-packet load balancing. I am able to get 2.8Mbps down but the upload is rarely above 1.5Mbps, sometime 1.8Mbps. I measure this with my laptop plugged directly into our Cisco 7204 VXR router using a

I had 4 T1s balanced using Multi-Link Frame Relay. Supposedly it only had a 10% overhead vs. MLPPP of almost 20%. I was having strange issues and not always experiencing my full downloads. The techs always said they don't see any errors. I finally pushed the issue and they did an in-depth

Hi, Maybe if you could post parts of your config file I can compare with our config file. It almost sounds like you are missing the static routes out both interfaces (unnumbered). Here is what we have on our Cisco going to a customer: ip route 69.20.190.12 255.255.255.252 ATM1/0.551
