Re: Re: Help with network topology/setup

Hi, Ron, thanks for the input. I'll look into those packages.

Let me elaborate a little further about my setup.

I'm designing a remote vehicle. I'm foreseeing 2 streams between the server
(a Raspi) and my laptop (debian ftw):

1 - Control: low bandwith (fits the ppp), low latency (as low as possible),
high availiability, encrypted stream;
2 - Video: high bandwidth (fits only the wifi), low latency, low
availiability, unencrypted stream.

Should the ppp fail, both streams should continue to function properly,
should the wifi fail, the video stream should fail, so not to clobber the
other interface.

Thanks for the help.

Help with network topology/setup

[Diogo Martins Silva]

Hello all.

I'm asking for suggestions for my setup.

I'll have a remote server, with 2 radio connections: 1 wifi (probably a
ubuiquity bullet) and one ppp through usb2ttl adapter and RFD900.

I'd like to setup an openvpn link between my laptop (which will also have
both radios) and the server that can cope with the loss of any of the
links. The links should resume normal operation as soon as they become
available.

I've looked into interface bonding, but it seems bonding ppp's is
difficult. I've also seen suggestions of changing the system's routes.

I'm not a networking expert, so if the solution is clear, it escapes me.

Thanks for the help.
