End users can also take advantage of circuit bonding to reduce their communication
cost and improve service as well. The following table shows the connections for the
enterprise using circuit bonding.

Headquarters Remote site A 7 ?— T1s Voice and Ethernet 10.8 Mbps 10.5 Mbps 97%
Headquarters Remote site B 7 ?— T1s Voice and Ethernet 10.8 Mbps 10.5 Mbps 97%
Headquarters Data center 3 ?— OC3 Voice and GbE 465 Mbps 465 Mbps 100%
Data center ISP 6 ?— T1s Internet access 9.26 Mbps 9.26 Mbps 100%
In this example, the number and capacity of the circuits are greatly reduced, and the
circuits are fully utilized. By using the multiplexing gain functions of circuit bonding,
two of the circuits are not fully provisioned.
