the SLOWEST link. </div><div><br /></div><div>This is not always a problem. For example, if you have two 100mbit fibre optic links over 1km, they are very unlikely to vary in their 'transmission' properties; that is to say, they are unlikely to vary considerably in how long it takes to ping the other end etc. With a connection like this, where BOTH of the Aggregate / Team 'members' can be described as electrically/physically 'identical / significantly similar', a good quality, reliable increase in performance can be achieved. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Key Insight 1</u>: Multiple Link Aggregates that increase Single Path Throughput ONLY EVER make sense when using IDENTICAL Aggregate Members.</b></div><div><b><i><br /></i></b></div><div>Knowing this, we next need to consider why ADSL Technology was developed. Simply put, it was designed to leverage EXISTING, VERY OLD Balanced Transmission Line to deliver 'high speed'
internet access. And it does a wonderful job indeed. But just what exactly is this existing infrastructure?

people might wish to point out that EFM / SHDSL & Similar use exactly the above to deliver a good service. And they're right, from a delivered service (Marketing?) perspective. <i>Remember how I pointed out that a Aggregate will run at the speed of its slowest member? EFM & SHDSL simply takes a bunch of pairs, and deliberately uses less bandwidth on all of them them than even the poorest can handle, then combines them. </i> </div><div><br /></div><div>I have personally seen 8 PAIRS (16 wires) used to deliver 10mbit / 10mbit EFM! To put this into perspective, a single near ideal pair can deliver 20mbit Simplex (one way) over 1Km using only 2MHz of bandwidth. VDSL2+ over 500m, with its increased bandwidth would greatly exceed that!</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Key Insight 3</u>: YOU CAN make a bunch of DISSIMILAR (electrically) Links look Similar (logically) if you are prepared to make individual BANDWIDTH SACRIFICES.</b></div><div><b><br

At say $30 per pair, it doesn't make sense economically to Aggregate a 18000/900 Kbps pair with a 9000/850 Kbps pair. Because to do so reliably, you're likely to end up with 17000 / 1600 Kbps!!!!</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div> </div></div>
