Point to Multi-Point WAN Solutions

Hi, I need to connect a HQ office to 3 branch offices over point-to-point T1's.

I know I can use frame relay for this but what other way will work? Is it possible to have 3 routers talking to 1 router with 3 WIC-1DSU-T1 cards, each with its own P2P T1? Any ideas are appreciated! Thanks, Mitchell

Hi Mitchell,

If you are using seperate interfaces, u need to have 3 seperate lines too. why dont you think about some MPLS solution if your service provoder supports. Then you can acheive full meshed connectivity

"Is it possible to have 3 routers talking to 1 router with 3 WIC-1DSU-T1 cards, each with its own P2P T1?"

Believe the answer is yes.

Besides Harish's suggestion of MPLS, and yours of frame-relay, both ATM or Internet VPN is also possible.
