1) yes and no. The two lines do not have to be symmetrical to load share. They do have to be the same for MLPPP<br />
2) yes. Yes if you bundle them with MLPPP and also yes if you use independent lines<br />
<br />
As harbor235 said, MLPPP is very CPU intensive while there is a simple solution by just using two equal cost default routes. Besides the CPU issues, the ISP would also have to support MLPPP and many do not. You can't setup just your end and make it work.<br />

THanks guys...I forgot to mention it is indeed a 2620XM.

Hi, I have a Cisco 2620 with IOS 12.2(15)T5 . It has one leased circuit E1(2MB) on it. Now that my b/w requirement is increased, I want to add more b/w to another serial port and bundle it. My questions.<br />
<br />
1) Can i just add 1MB or shud the new link also be a 2MB.<br />
2) Can I use IPSec tunnels through this bundle? (I have a pix behind the router which has IPSEc tunnels on it.)<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Networking software modules are interfaced with a framework implemented on the machine's operating system that implements the networking functionality of the operating system. The best known frameworks are the TCP/IP model and the OSI model. Systems typically do not use a single protocol to handle a transmission. Instead they use a set of cooperating protocols, sometimes called a protocol family or protocol suite.[9] Some of the best known protocol suites include: IPX/SPX, X.25, AX.25, AppleTalk and TCP/IP. Other protocols indirectly related to networking include the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and its related technologies, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name Server (DNS) and other Internet protocols.

Networking Protocols

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
