MultiWAN

A connection has been lost.

Not your company.

OIT MultiWAN combines multiple Internet connections into a single, fast, and reliable business connection. The available bandwidth is aggregated across multiple lines. If one connection fails, data traffic continues to flow through the remaining lines—without unnecessary interruptions.

Challenge

One line. One risk of failure.

Cloud applications, telephony, VPN, ERP, and digital processes make the Internet connection a part of critical business infrastructure. A single connection remains a single point of failure.

A traditional secondary backup link only partially solves the problem: It incurs costs but often contributes neither to bandwidth nor to performance during normal operation.

  • Outage of an Internet Service Provider
  • Internet Connection Outage
  • Bandwidth bottlenecks
  • Dependence on a single connection
  • Interruption of Cloud and Communications Services
  • Unused backup capacity

Solution

Multiple lines. One shared connection.

OIT MultiWAN connects different Internet access points in parallel and consolidates them into a single corporate connection using Multipath TCP.

Fiber optics, DSL, cable, LTE/5G, or Starlink can also be combined across different providers. The bundled connection is provided via a central OIT aggregation server located in a German data center. For the connected applications, it remains a single, stable Internet connection with a fixed public IP address.

Advantages

More bandwidth. More availability.

  • True Bandwidth Aggregation
  • Seamless Failover
  • Independent of the provider
  • Fixed Public IP Address
  • Encrypted Data Transmission
  • Flexible Scalability
  • Managed Operations by OIT

Multiple lines. One shared connection.

Here's how OIT MultiWAN works.

Connections

Various Internet connections—such as fiber optics, DSL, cable, LTE/5G, or Starlink—are connected to OIT MultiWAN simultaneously.

Bundle

Multipath TCP distributes traffic simultaneously across the available links and technically combines them into a single connection.

Aggregate

The data streams are consolidated via a central OIT aggregation server located in a German data center.

Deploy

Your systems will have stable, high-speed Internet access with a static public IP address.

Secure

If a line goes down, the remaining infrastructure takes over the data traffic—without requiring existing connections to be reestablished unnecessarily.

More than just load balancing.

True consolidation rather than mere distribution.

Traditional load balancing distributes individual connections across different lines. A single download or cloud upload remains limited to the speed of a single line.

OIT MultiWAN continues: Data streams are routed over multiple connections using Multipath TCP. This allows even a single data transfer to utilize the available bandwidth of multiple lines.

OpenWrt

An open router platform without proprietary vendor lock-in.

Multipath TCP

Standardized multipath procedure according to RFC 8684 for using multiple connections.

Encrypted Tunnel

Data traffic is transmitted in encrypted form via the OIT infrastructure.

Fixed Public IP

A static public IP address remains the same regardless of which Internet service provider you use.

Availability is part of security.

MultiWAN combines multiple Internet connections into a fail-safe business connection. If one connection or provider goes down, an available connection takes over—automatically and without unnecessary interruptions.

Redundancy

Create alternative routes.

Availability

Keep critical services available.

Control

Monitor connections centrally.

Resilience

Reduce dependencies and single points of failure.

A line is down.

Your connection will remain active.
