 Posted: Thu Nov 08, 2007 7:22 am Post subject: Bundling and redundency |
 |
|
Dear All,
I need some suggestions on one of the scenario we are facing here.
I am maintaining a site which is connected to a central site with a 4
mbps metro Ethernet connectivity.Since this is single link is a single
point of failure , we are looking for alternate links (metro Ethernet
only) which provides bundling , as well as it should not create a
single point of failure. ( i mean both links terminates on two
seperate links on both sides(location)
Waiting for ur suggestions
Thanks and regards

I'm not sure what your question is? Sounds like you need to go back
to your provider and ask them if you can get another link for
redundancy, or go to another provider if you really want redundancy in
case one provider cuts their own fiber. You won't be able to avoid
all hops, but two providers should be able to get you most of the way
there. |

After re-reading your submission, do you mean 'bundling' as in
etherchannel for doubling your service? If that is the case, and
presuming these are layer 3 routed links and not switched (else it
would be 100 meg or gig), you would accomplish this through routing
and ensuring you have equal cost load balancing. This means
terminating to two different routers, and each of those routers
participates in the same routing protocol back to your core, which
then has equal cost paths to the destination. Let me know if I have
misunderstood. |

Have you asked your service provider? Some service providers [eg BT in the
UK] can provide a diversely routed circuit for an additional fee. You may,
however, find that the extra fee is greater than getting another circuit
from a different provider, which in theory would provide greater
redundancy.
