I currently have a cisco 2600 router but i am looking into purchasing
another T1 line. Could the cisco 2800 combine the 2 lines to get full
3mbps speed up and down? what are my options. From what i understand
about BGP, it will not really give me
3mbps but only load balancing. any ideas?

thanks



You don't need the 2800, the 2600 will do just fine. Look into Multilink PPP.


as long as you do not a lot of ACL's and have your ISP only send a defualt route via BGP, then 2600 would do fine.

However use CEF for load balancing if using two identical T1's to same ISP, less overhead than Multilink PPP
