Anyone know if Proteon has plans to implement load sharing among synchronous lines anytime soon? I have at least three cases coming up where I really need that. The only one I know of who now implements load sharing on serial lines is Sun. Torben

When they do, you will have equal-cost route load sharing available as part of that protocol (as well as an open protocol). However, if you are asking whether you can make two T-1s act exactly like a single logical link, that's another question. But you should be able to do exactly what you want using OSPFIGP. [BTW, how do we pronounce "OSPFIGP"? Sing it to the tune of "Oh, Christmas Tree"? Oh, SPF, oh, IGP, how lovely art thy tables..] Kent England, Boston University
