Subject: Load Balancing On 2503 Serial Ports

> Gday everyone!!!!

> Setting up a lab, and following on from my last email about the maximum
> throughput using a DCE-DTE cable on a serial port achieving a maximum of
> 4mbps. (DCE serial port set with clockrate 4000000)
>
> Now....obviously the speed is a little slow, so I decided to buy a second
> cable to hook up to the second serial port on both routers and do a little
> load balancing.

> Having never configured load balancing in this manner before, I went
looking

of
