Multilink T1's with ip cef
Hi folks, If you have three T1's coming from the same provider which go straight into one single router and between you and the provider, you guys are doing multigroup ppp with ip cef load balancing 'per packet'. Ultimately, do you have the same kind of inbound/outbound bandwidth in this scenario vs. the a fractional T3, committing at 4.5mbps ? Which one is better?

RE: Multilink T1's with ip cef
is there a page where I can get more information on cef? I will look it up on google as well but any help is much appreciated! Thanks!!

You hit a price point with T1's where it is cheaper to go with frac t3's. You lose physical diversity however, as one cable cut and your dead with a single frac t3. If you don't watch it though, chances are most of your T1's to the same provider may be in the same actual binder anyways, not really giving you as much protection as you may think In terms of packet forwarding and just raw thruput, i say its not really an issue. They are probably about the same. CEF is not too intensive, its quite efficient. Only problem with CEF is it is buggy as hell. CEF is the evil we all have a love / hate relationship with. Also, typically, per-packet CEF is ran up on standard hdlc serial links (parallel) to the same source/destination routers...its not common to have CEF combined with PPP multigroup. Most ISP's running CEF are doing so over just HDLC links.
