Hi,

    My company's business is highly dependent on network service for
both internal LAN access and external data feeds. Currently, we don't
have any redundancy build in any network path to backup the system and
we are planning to do so. We are using Cisco products (switches, routers
etc) and some network vendors proposed Fast Ether Channel with spanning
tree protocol to provide alternate network path. However, our concern is
the spanning tree protocol which incurs a switch-over time (vary from
5sec to 50sec) that will make all connected IP sessions disconnect and
they need to be established again. Any other better methods avoid the
session disconnect?

Any comment and suggestion is welcome.

Thanks,

Kimmy.
