HWIC BOND

miskoolak · ‎05-01-2008

Dear friends

I have two bar from 4 wire SHDSL HWIC card on my 3845 router. I have IAM on each HWIC to achive more bandwidth. I want to know is possible to bonding these two SHDSL HWic and use IAM on them to reach more bandwidth?

Hi, I think that with "IAM" you mean ATM IMA.

However, the shdsl hwic does not support ATM IMA.

Hope this helps, please rate post if it does!

Acctully we can have IAM ATM on HWIC for SHDSL for bonding 4 pair or 4 line to about 10 Mbps..

Hi, once again, that is spelled "ATM IMA (Inverse Multiplex Access)".

Now if you could provide a link that states that ATM IMA is supported on the the SHDSL HWIC, I will be glad to correct myslef in saying that it is not supported.

Here is the link regarding IMA Hwic support :

"IMA (only on HWIC-4SHDSL)"

ATM Forum standard that provides a scalable and cost-effective way for service provider and end customers to expand WAN bandwidth by bonding one to four G.SHDSL links

I think my answer above predates HWIC-4SHDSL, so I indicated no IMA support.
