Dual Broadband Services: IASL Broadband X2 Most businesses may experience the Internet communication breakdown at one point or another, primarily brought about by network congestion and failure. At the same time, businesses in the world are rapidly evolving, which created larger demand on Internet bandwidth, speed, efficiency and reliability of network. A traditional single-line broadband connection is often restricted by capacity to meet the new corporate demands. A Dual Broadband Technology is now available. It rides on the art of Load Balancing to fulfill the extra need on bandwidth and eliminate limitation from current single-linked broadband connection. Corporations can now enjoy higher uploading and downloading speed by aggregating the bandwidth of two broadband links at a competitive price. Additionally, the network is more reliable as the two links perform backup for each other when the network is interrupted in unforeseen circumstances. Key Features and Benefits The Dual Broadband technology helps businesses balancing the Internet traffic evenly on two links. This technology is especially important when it is difficult to predict the high volume traffic. It also aggregates bandwidth of two DSL links to 90% higher than a single connection. An original transmission speed at 3M/640K is now proliferated to 6M downstream and 1.2M upstream respectively. This addresses the limitation of ADSL technology, especially on the upstream consideration. Load-balancing is done by the client-end and backend routers on a per-packet basis. This balances the loading of both outbound and inbound traffic. This connection uses a designated router that can be used to achieve link redundancy and load balancing using two DSL links, in which each individual link becomes the backup to each other. If one of the links is down, the other will be routed to the other link immediately. Therefore, it improves network performance from Internet outage, bottleneck and leverages the backup link. Many traditional load-balancing connections are based on session. Data will be allocated into sessions and being transmitted on either one of the dual links. Since each link has only 3M/640K, the session-based transmitted data cannot enjoy the throughput aggregated by the two connected lines. Instead of taking the session-based load balancing approach, the packet-based load balancing technology can increase the overall performance. This technique eliminates the inefficiency and overall throughput limitations of the session-based approach. The major advantage is that the system will automatically distribute the packets equally between the two links, and bandwidth can now be used more efficiently. IASL's Broadband X2 IASL Broadband X2 service incorporates the packet-based load-balancing technology. Corporations with the use of this service can now enjoy higher uploading and downloading speed in a cost-effective way. Featured with 24-hour unlimited access and seamless Internet connection, it matches the business growth and enables them to reap the benefits of greater operational efficiency and productivity. To ensure stability of IASL's Braodband X2, a high-end router is chosen to pursue the overall performance of connection.
