I have a high profile remote site which is currently using a E1 Frame Relay for its primary and a 10-channel ISDN as its backup connectivity. &nbsp;The E1 is pretty congested at the moment which I am addressing by having a 2nd E1 installed (as I said they are high-profile !). &nbsp;Anyway I have ordered a 1Meg SDSL connection and plan to use this for backup until the second E1 arrives (looking at a couple of months - God Bless carriers !!!!)<br />
My question is this:<br />
Can I configure the ISDN and SDSL to do some kine od load sharing in the event of a failure ? &nbsp;I have already built the Frame/SDSL scenario for other offices and it works fine using GRE tunnels &amp;&nbsp;IPSec.........It just seems a bit of a waste of 1/2 a Meg of bandwidth on the ISDN sitting idle if I can use it...............

ISDN And SDSL Load Sharing

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
