I manage internet access for our company. We have our main link which is
a 2 meg leased line, we then have a 2 meg adsl line for backup from a
different ISP
What i want is live failover for outgoing traffic, not only for complete
link failures but also when then main isp has routing issues to a given
ip range (e.g during the recent disruption to 2 of the transatlantic links)
The solution should require little or no involvement from either isp,
and if possible ''sensible routing''. What i mean by this is if
we are
making a connection to a ip that is on our backup ip''s network it used
that line rather than the main line
I have had a quick look at both BGP and OSPF but was not sure if either
of them was the right solution for me
