I don't know the layout of the buildings, but have you considered using point-to-point laser links between the buildings? I was involved in a project at a site earlier this year that was happily getting 100mbps between buildings using roof-mounted lasers. Much lower latency than 802.11a/b/g as well (assuming that's what you're using). If you do stick with WiFi, I'd not worry too much about the downtime - a) it should only be a few minutes, and b) it can probably be managed such that it's done during off peak hours. Can you give us any more information about the WiFi hardware at each end? I'm not sure simple port trunking on the switches (which is what I guess you're suggesting in the first approach) is going to do the job if the WiFi devices are essentially standard APs, since I presume they'd have their own IP addresses? If the WiFi devices were operating at a lower level than IP, it'd probably work, possibly if they were using some sort of L2TP tunnelling internally? (though you might then have to consider packet fragmentation, depending on the packet size) Regards, Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
