So, the scenario is as follows: there are 2 separate LANs each with a NAT gateway and Internet connection but they need to be joined together somehow to allow traffic to flow over that link rather than over the Internet. A VPN is not suitable since the connection needs to be high-speed (100Mb/s) and low-latency. Also combining the networks to use the same Internet connection isn't possible so I was thinking about 'peering' the networks, setting up *nix-based routers in front of both gateways to route traffic between the two networks over a separate connection rather than out over the Internet. I think static routing with a few simple rules would be sufficient since there would only be the one WAN-facing IP in each network. So before I start experimenting with this, does it sound plausible?
Thanks![]()
