Re: Sharedband -> Qwest mini-Review said by nickphx:Sounds like too much hardware. And why pay sharedband for something you can do on your own with software? You could have went with pfsense or clearos on one machine with 3 nics.
Yep, it is a lot of hardware, the number of power bricks is a pain.
No, this can not be done with pfsense. I have used pfsense to load balance. Another short coming of pfsense is that it can not be used on the same ISP that use the same gateway, you have to put a router in the middle of one of the connections.
Sharedband is not load balancing, it is bonding. It creates a single stream of data, where load balancing would create two streams.
A single stream is needed for Netflix/Youtube/AmazonVOD, etc |
