Felix, how would the traffic burst up to 400kbps during the day
then, and not during the night?
To load balance across the two circuits, you'd want to switch
per-packet, process switched or with CEF for minimal processor hit (on both
ends of the circuit).

Dear all,
The case has temporary been solved.
Along the file transfer path, there are two sites connected with two frame
relay circuits for load-balancing. We have found the bottle-neck is on
these two circuit. Finally, the traffic can be burst after putting back the
route-cache, but they are no longer in load-balancing.
Please advise if there is any better solution?
Thanks
FL
