We currently have two T1's to an ISP and a backup T1 to a different ISP.
The backup is only to kick in when the others go down via a floating static
route. When monitoring the links, it shows that there is nothing
transmitting out on the line, but we have periods of 97% utilization
receiving on the line. It follows peak periods of what would be Internet
usage (morning=10%, afternoon=97-99%, evening=15%) All of this is received
traffic. Our ISP said that they were sending only about 500 routes to us,
and when he did a test, it went through the correct ISP to get to us, not
his own.
Does anyone have any ideas about this? I'm just afraid if our main links
went down, the backup would be so saturated from receiving on the line AND
transmitting that it would be useless.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill
