I have a customer that has a T-1 with a managed Cisco 1841 router. They wish to increase their bandwidth. One of the options is to add a second T1 and bond the two T1s to produce a larger virtual connection. &nbsp;I do not have access to the configuration of the existing router.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Can I bond the 2 T1s using an ML-PPP inverse multiplexer from a vendor like RADirect or Patton without making changes to the router? Is there another vendor/product that should be considered?<br />
<br />
What is the loss of throughput, if any, with such a device? &nbsp;How close to 3 Mbps will the 2 T-1 actually produce?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance for all replies.<br />

Bonding T1s without router changes using an inverse multiplexer

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
