To be honest, I'd just use a hardware iMUX to do this. I'm sure the router
solution works really nicely, but I've always preferred to use an iMUX as
it moves the problem off the router and away from the possibility of
consuming CPU. One HSSI port on the router takes less real-estate than 8
T1/E1 serial ports - and the router sees the link as one simple circuit,
rather than having to deal with any loadsharing issues.
In answer to Miguel's question, my personal recommendation would be to use
an iMUX at both ends with HSSI into the router. The differing latencies
possible over diverse transoceanic links (plus the above) just make this a
neater solution.
