Greetings: In addition to my original post below, I've found out that the forward channels (ppp0/1) TO my ISP are balanced whereas the reverse FROM my ISP is throttled on the dynamic IP. The eql device is configured to the static IP and all download traffic travels this link. I do have both ppp links enslaved but again ... do I have to have both dial-ups configured to the same IP? I'm not even sure this is permissible but I'm open to suggestion and flames <grin>. _____________________________________________________________ (x-post to linux-net and linux-ppp) Problem: packet traffic is not symmetric across my ppp0 and ppp1 links while using eql Config: RH5.2, (2) 28.8 modems (soon to be 56K) Yak: The links are initiated satisfactorily with IPs assigned to each. The eql interface is configured correctly (mtu, master, etc.) and the ppp dial-ups are enslaved. Lastly, the default route points to the eql device. Although I have throughput, the bulk traffic is observed on ppp0 (the first dial-up w/ a static IP) with little traffic on ppp1 (second dial-up w/ a dynamic IP). My ISP supports load-balancing and is very supportive (kudos ADIS, Fort Walton Beach!). I have read the NET-3 how2 and the blah.txt with the eql-1.2 distribution. The blah.txt indicates that BOTH ppp (or slip) dial-ups should be assigned the same IP and I suspect this is/may be the problem. However, doesn't the eql_enslave command link the dial-ups to the eql device regardless of the assigned ISP (the eql para. in the NET-3 doc vaguely suggests this but again, I am not sure). Lastly, is the 1.2 patch applicable? It patched with errors and again ... what's up?
