[c-nsp] re: 2600 load balancing

Hi.  I'm new to the list and  responding to a thread I saw in the 
archive.  Subject of the thread is 2600 load balancing.  The question 
was about load balancing across 2 T1's.

>I have a cisco 2620 (MPC860) router with two T1-s connected to it.

There has been a resulting discussion of using multilink PPP.  I do not 
personally have experience with MLPPP with Cisco's, so I can not comment 
on that, except I've read it can increase processor load.  What I do 
have experience with is the per-packet load balancing with CEF.  I've 
written a little doc about it that might be helpful.  Feedback also 
appreciated.
