In theory, out of order packets should not be a problem, TCP copes with out of order packets, but some applications may have problems. We have seen some VPNs and specific video streaming applications being very sensitive to packets being out of order. This is rare though.
==Fast failover==
It is important that when a line fails for any reason the service switches automatically to using the remaining lines. Our constant quality monitoring system means we are constantly monitoring every line and will be able to react to a failure of a line within 10 seconds. When a line goes out of service the routing of traffic can automatically switch to remaining lines.
When using multiple lines for redundancy this allows the fall-back line to come in to service very quickly. When being used for extra speed the failed line simple means less speed until the problem is resolved.
We provide email and text alerts of lines going off line unexpectedly so that you are alerted to the problem.
