Re: Tomato/MLPPP released (evade throttle or bond two DSL lines)
said by DSL_Ricer  :said by Reimer :However, I'm a Velcom customer and not a Teksavvy customer and I don't even know if Velcom supports MLPPP but it connects anyway. If the remote system doesn't support MLPPP it will simply connect without it. Is there a status display whether it is connected by using MLPPP or not?
Otherwise, you will hear users reported they connect by using MLPPP enable to their ISPs but still get throttle.
BTW, why don't make it fail to connect by using MLPPP if the remote system doesn't support MLPPP. This will let the users know right away that they can't use MLPPP. |

How exactly does this firmware allow you to avoid throttling? My understanding was that was done on the head end of the network, long before it ever reached the end user. |

its the way it connects - MLPPP is a special way of connection (which teksavvy has provided support for.)
Normally, it lets you bond many connections into one by spreading out packets.
By "faking" multiple connections, it can't be throttled (as easily)
Edit:
So this will work on v1.0 routers? I think that's what mine is. My brother has it currently.
Also, MLPPP support is automatic, right?
(you don't need to notify teksavvy unless you have multiple lines to bond together?) |

Now Bell will likely start throttling MLPPP!  |

said by gi1010 :Is there a status display whether it is connected by using MLPPP or not? No, that's scheduled for V2.

Making it fail to connect would require code changes to pppd, changes I'd prefer not to make. These are also complicated by bell's setup for ppp handoff. One can't simply say "require MLPPP" since bell's pppoe handoff systems don't support it. |

btw, do the two accounts need to have the same sync rate for this to work? i could test right now but one of the incoming connections is 6meg and one is 5meg. |

Asus wl-520gu work with tomato-ND.The firmware just needs to be modified for MLPPP. |

Had to bury it; it states that it works with any ISP, when it actually only works with ISPs that support MLPPP. Currently the list of ISPs known to support it is limited to TekSavvy. |

Velcom said they support MLPPP too. Need someone using Velcom to confirm, or you guys/Bell customers can buy Velcom DSL login to test.
said by VelcomMatt :Hello Elegua, I am happy to hear that you are pleased with our service and I would hate to see you leave. What you can do is bond two DSL lines together and combine the Downstream and Upstream for a 12Mbps / 1.6Mbps connection. Our network router does support the protocol required for bonding two lines together. This may be a solution however the price for the service would pretty much double minus the IP cost unless you also require more IP space. Kind Regards, Matthew Lazarou »Looking for ISP with ADSL2+ |

codecx: No, single-link mode requires MLPPP support.
theninjasquad: No, although those Bell customers can buy a secondary TekSavvy login.
gi1010: I'll take note of that. |

Hello gi1010,
I would like to let you know that our network router does in fact support the MLPP protocol.
