I have implemented object tracking on a 1760 Cisco router. We have a corporate office which has a T1 internet. This office connects to a remote office via a point to point T1. Voice/Data/Internet travel across the Point to Point T1 back to the corporate office. This is how 7 Offices connect. One of these offices has a separate organization which has there own connection to the internet due to bandwidth requirements. The 2 orgs share a common 1760 router. What I did was use object tracking to track the availability of an IP outside of there DSL line. If the address was no longer available, it would dynamically change the routing and route all of the special organizations traffic via the Point to Point and out the Corp T1 internet connection instead of out their DSL connection. I was looking at http://www.xorp.org/ and http://www.vyatta.com/twiki/bin/view/Community/WhatIsOfr, but they do not have this functionality. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Buechler [mailto:cbuechler at gmail dot com] Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2006 8:29 PM Cc: m0n0wall at lists dot m0n0 dot ch Subject: Re: [m0n0wall] Object tracking On 6/28/06, Chris K Ellsworth <ckellsworth at yahoo dot com> wrote: > Are you talking about BGP?, > Eh, what he was describing, I didn't really take as being BGP (though I'm actually having a discussion right now with someone saying exactly that). BGP isn't going to help with certain network failures, and definitely isn't going to be practical for most people's Internet connections. I saw it more as a feature for a dual/multiple WAN setup where you can't get BGP, which would probably be 99.9+% of all Internet connections. I'm sure there are probably some of those commercial multi WAN devices (for load balancing multiple Internet connections) that do something like this. -Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: m0n0wall dash unsubscribe at lists dot m0n0 dot ch For additional commands, e-mail: m0n0wall dash help at lists dot m0n0 dot ch |
