We have a number of links which require bandwidth of more than one DS1, but less than a DS3. We have been inverse muxing DS1s by placing Ciscos at both ends and using OSPF. We are trying to phase out our use of Cisco routers in favor of FreeBSD routers. At this point, the only Ciscos we have are the those used to service these inverse mux'ed links. We don't use FreeBSD running OSPF for this purpose because we thought that FreeBSD could not handle equal weight multiple routes to the same destination. However, it sees to me that MPPP should be able to bind multiple DS1 point-to-point links together into one source and destination. This would result in one route. Is this the case? Does anyone have any experience with this configuration? The most we need right now is four DS1s, however we may need more in the future. I can't imagine using more than eight. thanks! fletcher To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
