So is dynamic routing going to solve my problem. The problem is i do not want to use the best possible path ( cost vise ) to route a packet. I have to make use of all the availabe bandwitdh of the 3 ISP's in the most efficient manner. I have read about TEQ traffic equalizer. But it has been mentioned that you cannot combine 3 different isps to act as one. As if you are using TEQ at one end, you are bound to have it at the other end. with regards, Sushil Suresh ----- Original Message ----- From: Ramin Alidousti To: Arthur van Leeuwen Cc: Sushil Suresh ; Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2001 6:20 PM Subject: Re: [LARTC] Will advanced linux routing help me > On Wed, Apr 25, 2001 at 09:39:27AM +0200, Arthur van Leeuwen wrote: > > > Doei, Arthur.
