ISDN by Dave Brown Imagine a raging fire in a building near a river. Equipment isn't available to pump water fast enough through one big hose, so you organize six parallel bucket brigades to douse the flames and become a hero.
Inverse multiplexing is a lot that.
Additionally, we tested a U.S. Robotics Sportster ISDN 128K terminal adapter. Imux box designs are diverse, depending on the application and need for additional functions. One class of inverse multiplexing applications supports LAN internetworking. Routers on two geographically separated LANs can be connected at aggregate speeds that are multiples of 1.54 Mbps by inverse multiplexing a group of dedicated T1 circuits. There are imux produ cts on the horizon that will provide fail-soft alternative paths when T1 circuits are cut or broken.
