Nice picture -- I wander if I can find one with the bridge on the right should be a rickety foot bridge: Some people think a 100Mbps circuit is going to be a useful backup for a 10Gbps circuit...

now, a question: what would be your preferred way of load-balancing traffic?

a) LACP / MLPPP bond the links together?

b) OSPF multipath?

c) Normal routing failover?

d) BFD?
