LOAD BALANCING & RESILIENCE (MULTI-LINK MODELLING)

Multi-link resilience is assumed, not tested. Whether traffic actually fails over cleanly — and whether surviving links can carry the load — is discovered during the outage itself.

Business Question

"If our primary link failed at peak hour today, would the backup actually cope — has anyone ever proven that, or do we just believe it?"

What SPoG Does

  • Simulates multi-link traffic distribution and failover scenarios against real load profiles.
  • Identifies links and paths that would saturate under failure conditions.
  • Optimizes traffic distribution continuously to prevent overloads before they occur.
