38 Introduction
Load Balancing With Users Connected to a Preferred ISP Link
In this scenario the hotel has purchased 2 x ISP links for guest HSIA. One is a high-quality,
high-cost "business grade" ISP circuit, and the other is a low-cost, lower-grade domestic
service provided by the local cable TV operator. The hotel has a number of bill plan options
including free-to-use and pay-to-use premium plans. Under normal circumstances, the hotel
wants guests who have selected a free plan to use the low-cost link, and guests who have
selected a premium service to use the higher-cost, business-grade ISP connection. If either link
fails, guest should fail over to the other links until the preferred link is restored.
