Have you looked at Cisco CEF Load Sharing?

Subject: L2TPv3/MPLS (TP) Pseudowire to preserve
Hi,
We have a new requirement to load balance across a couple of point to point=
ethernet links.
The previous solution was handled by a few TDM circuits and MLPPP so that t=
raffic was load balanced and any fragmentation/reassembly was handled by ML=
/PPP.
Load balancing per flow is not really an option because we have a single IP=
Sec tunnel (ESP-mode) and there is Layer 4 information to make a better dec=
ision to balance the load.
I have been considering the use of L2TPv3 or an MPLS Pseudowire as a potent=
ial solution as they seem to have mechanisms to ensure packets are not miso=
rdered.
I would appreciate any feedback/suggestions that the community can offer.
Best,
-Doug
