What people presume to know, sheesh! Bandwidth Aggregation: Combining Internet Connections to Incrementally Increase Bandwidth Capacity Bandwidth aggregation combines two or more Internet connections and gives Internet applications access to their total available bandwidth and increases reliability with link redundancy. PowerLink, ShieldLink and ClariLink bandwidth aggregation techniques (also known as multi-homing) support load balancing to route Internet sessions from congested links, to links with more available bandwidth. They also provide automatic failover of Internet sessions from failed links to functional connections to eliminate the Internet as a point of failure. http://www.ecessa.com/pages/solutions/solutions_technology_bandwidth.php

parsecs are a measure of distance, in spite of what Han Solo said. From Wikipedia: "The parsec ("parallax of one arcsecond", symbol pc) is a unit of length, equal to just under 31 trillion kilometres (about 19 trillion miles), or about 3.26 light-years."
