At that point you would be better of using MPPP to "join" 2 T1s together
rather then resort to per-packet CEF.

We have been told the voice traffic would not work well with per packet.
We will probably try per packet anyway.

What about per packet load sharing instead? Is there a reason you can't
use
it?

Yes, so to speak. We manually generate the traffic with separate file
copies
and/or ftp sessions along with any other traffic that may be on the
circuits
at the time. The file copies and ftp transfers are different sessions.

Is 90% of the traffic from the 3640 LAN to the 7513 LAN between the same
source and destination pair?

We have an issue that seems to have no resolution.

We have a 7513 and 3640 connected using 2 T1 serial links. EIGRP, IP
CEF
per destination load sharing, and LLQ for voice traffic are configured.
The
EIGRP metrics indicate that the links are indeed equal.

LAN traffic behind the 7513 going to the LAN behind the 3640 seems to be
load balance, within reason. LAN traffic behind the 3640 going to the
LAN
behind the 7513 favors one of the links 90% of the time. So the traffic
is
not load sharing like it should.

Routing and CEF tables look fine. Just can't find an explanation as why
the
traffic is favoring only one of the links.

Opened TAC case - but they said it should be working and are researching
the
issue.

Ever see anything like this before? Any troubleshooting commands that
would
help identify the cause?

Thanks,

Tim
