Greetings, i have a client who has several sites each with 2 x 8Mb/s ADSL Max connections and one primary site with 2 x 2Mb/s SDSL connections.
Currently they use ADSL bonding devices and run two VPN's per site to every other site for redundancy which i find odd but anyhow..
They would like to load balance or bond each site and run a Cisco meshed IPSEC VPN between each remote site and the primary site.
Now if it were just a single line at each site i wouldn't have a problem but not having dealt with load balancing or bonding before im a little stuck.
Ive been looking at Cisco Optimized Edge Routing, Policy based routing and Gateway Load Balancing Protocol but am unsure as what would be the best approach, i would like to achieve this with a single Cisco 2800 at each site and an ASA at the primary site too terminate the VPN's on and provide a stronger firewall policy.
Any comments would be much appreciated
