Load Balance Wireless Bridge
Hi,
I have two Cisco wireless network bridges that I need to connect together.
The first is a 2.4GHz Wireless N Bridge which supports up to 144Mbps and the second is a Cisco 5GHz wireless N bridge which supports up to 300Mbps.
I want to run both bridges between my two buildings. I have two Cisco 2911 routers sitting on either end with each bridge plugged into the router.
What I want to do is load balance between the two bridges and I am wondering what the best method of doing this is?
Thanks

What about using CEF as well? If so should it be per packet or per destination?
CEF as far as I know doesn't do unequal loadbalancing and your 2 links are not the same.
Per destination load balancing is safer than per packet. You don't get as good a balance of load between the links but traffic like voice traffic can give you issues over per packet load balancing if the packets start arriving out of order over the 2 links

That should then load balance over the unequal links
