Hello,
I had a few questions regarding static routes. Here's the setup:
On my XP Pro machine, I have created 2 persistent static routes, both
pointing to the same subnet, going through two different routers (primary and
backup).
route -p add 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.253 metric 1
route -p add 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.0.0 192.168.1.254 metric 10
The data is very time-sensitive, so I cannot have much failover latency. If
my primary route (through .253) goes down,
A) How long will it take to fail over to the backup?
B) Will XP then ignore the primary route and consider the backup as the
primary, or will XP keep checking to see if the primary is up every so often
(how often)?
C) If my primary goes back up again, will traffic then shift back to it?
Thank you,
Anthony
