You can even place a class within a class. Our T1 card drivers have had load balancing capabilty for several years..we have recently added the capability to factor balance so that you can balance 2 mediums with differing available bandwidths. The next version of our Bandwidth manager will support factored load balancing over any 2 mediums, specifically Ethernets or serial lines.
