Hello All Recently we doubled our internet bandwith to two T1s from the same provider that terminate on in the same router on the NOC side. We setup IP LOAD-SHARING PER-PACKET on each of the serial links on both sides (NOC and Us) in order to get an aggregate 3.0mbit. PER-PACKET routing alternates usage of the T1s, one for one... Since then, VPN performance has taken a dive. Sniffing out traffic, ESP packets are sent 3-4 times before they can be properly decrypted. Someone along the way said that using PER-PACKET routing changes the CRC value of the packets. Is this correct, has anyone else seen this issue? I can't see how the CRC is changed, the hop count isn't changing, the lines are identical, and they terminate in the same router, so the last hop is the F0/0 interface of the router before getting to the firewall.
