[c-nsp] Per packet load balancing with low latency applications

[Yan Filyurin]

Or any other external inverse multiplexer. Plus as old and outdated that technology might be, apparently Cisco still supports IMA. While it requires different hardware, that could be an alternative.

I've never used IMA in practice on an actual router, but when when using it with external devices, it worked great.  But it was 6 years ago, so times have changed since then.

What about using a product that delivers Ethernet over n T-1s, like units
from RAD?

Hello list,

I've been looking at using per packet load balancing with a couple of
serial links to use with a low latency market data application, in all
the cisco docs they seem to mention how VoIP/Video applications may
chuck their dummy out with packets arriving out of sequence. My
question is what would cause the packets to arrive out of sequence?
And has anyone been in my position before? what was the outcome?

Per packet is going to be used because there will only be one machine
on each end of the link talking to each other.

Any more information/real life experiences on the matter are welcome.

Thanks for your time.
