DSL Bonding , how to ?

[FranckHerbert]

Hello,

I'm looking for a simple solution to bond 2 DSL lines, i have a customer who is literally in the middle of the woods and all he can get are 2 DSL lines of  1MB/s each ( there's not even cell signals where he is, so forget about 3G, there's not even edge ).

What would be the best solution to merge 2 DSL lines into one ?

thank you!

Hi you can use MLPPP but your ISP would need to support this so you need to check with them what options they will allow as bonding on one side is no use and some ISPs dont support MLPPP

other options load balance on the lines using ip cef and statics -- have 2 equal default routes and change the load balance method of cef allowing you to utilize both links

used pfr routing

use NAT to load balance

These are just options hopefully 1 works :)

Thanks a lot, i think we'll go with load balancing, it seems easier to set up.
