Hi guys, am new here and was wondering if enabling QOS would help here: I have two links terminating. The one is running radio and the other is running as a backup link using another line of sight topology. My problem is this: In heavy rain lots of latency occurrs on the primary link. I physically have to shut the link down so that traffic will start on the backup link. Is there any way I can automatically shut the port down when latency occurs so that traffic will go over the backup link instead?
I don't think QoS can decide what link you're going after... sounds like you'd need some sort of load balancer that knows the rates you're getting out of each link and changes the routes accordingly.
I thought there was a way that QOS could sort of "drop" a link if latency occured on it. I'm hoping that this could happen, since load balancing won't help as this would cause the two links to be used at once, which is not something I want happening. I'll need to look further into this, in short I need a trigger to "drop" the link when latency occurs.
Well you can't just have some that drops the connection when latency occurs or else it would always have it dropped you need to find something that will drop it when a certain latency is reached cause you will always have latency on your line.
