Re: I could puke

It really is transparent, because it's done on the packet level. As in, either packets themselves are sent through alternating connections, or the packet itself is split in two. They're re-assembled on your ISP's end and sent out as if they came from a single source.

I'm not aware of any distro that simplifies MLPPP, and you should be warned that users have reported serious issues trying to get three lines bonded together (2 works reliably, it seems, but 3 causes issues).

The alternative is the non-transparent load balancing solution. As in, a router that load balances between DSL lines on the connection level. While not transparent, and individual transfers are limited to the speed of a single connection, multi-connection protocols (BitTorrent, accelerated HTTP, etc) would still benefit from the aggregate speeds.

Hi Guspaz,

I already use a Xincom 502 to load balance my Videotron cable and Look MMDS connections and while it works ok i would like something that could benefit everything nut just multi connection protocols like Bitrorrent.. I will definitely do some more reading on MLPPP
