Packets sent from AAISP to you take the line that has the lowest current delay. This is worked out by recent packets and the base latency of the line. Due to this you may see traffic preferring one of your lines over the other. The aim of this is to ensure packets arrive in order if possible. (Not that IP guarantees packet order.) In theory a full speed transfer should fill both lines, but slower traffic will have a bias to the low latency line.

 

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.
