Load balancing routers can perform load sharing of traffic among multiple broadband connections including ADSL, Cable Modems and T1/T3 as well as offering redundancy in the event that one or more connections should fail. Load Balancing routers are designed to meet the need for businesses requiring high availability and scalability for e-commerce and Internet business applications. As businesses increase their use of the Internet to deliver mission-critical applications, a Load Balancing router will allow for the combination of multiple Internet connections, in order to improve bandwidth efficiency and significantly reduce the risk of complete Internet downtime.
