IPLB distributes the traffic over multiple IP links so that the load can be distributed evenly. IPLB effectively bundles the lines together, so that the total throughput is the sum of the individual lines.
Suppose we have the following information:
ABILIS 1 has an Internet connection with a speed of 1 Gbit/s and more public IP addresses (80.80.80.0/28).
The assigned IP for ABILIS 1 is the 80.80.80.1/28.
ABILIS 2 has 3 Internet connections (ADSL, Ethernet, LTE), from different Internet providers with the following Internet speeds:
ADSL 7/1 Mbit/s;
Ethernet 20/20 Mbits/s;
LTE 15/15 Mbits/s.
80.80.80.5 is the IP address assigned to ABILIS 2 by ABILIS 1 for IPLB;
The ADSL line from ABILIS 2 have a static IP 88.88.88.88/32;
The Ethernet line from ABILIS 2 have a static IP 99.99.99.99/24;
The LTE line from Abilis 2 has a dynamic IP.
The objectives:
To obtain a major throughput, theoretically the sum of the individual lines (42/36 Mbit/s);
To offer a failover to the WEB server (192.168.0.10/24) located in the LAN of ABILIS 2. If a line falls down we will have a lower speed but not disconnection of services.
