RE: Channel Bonding on FreeBSD without peer support

You cannot do it on a single FreeBSD system without cooperation of the ISP because it only has 1 internal route table. You can use 2 FreeBSD systems one for each modem, put both into translation mode, set the inside IP addresses to something like 192.168.1.1 on the first one and 192.168.1.2 on the second. Then you set the default gateway on half of the systems on the inside to .1 and the other half to .2 Or it is easier to just route services (like www traffic on modem 1, email traffic on modem 2..) That's another way to do it. Ted ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Channel Bonding on FreeBSD without peer support
Hi, I would like to combine the bandwidth of two network cards on FreeBSD (which are connected to 2 different ADSL modems of the same ISP) in order to double the bandwidth of the Internet connection of the LAN that is behind this box. I have searched Google and FreeBSD question and people suggest to use netgraph, like ng_fec, or ng_one2many. However, these approaches require support from the other peer (the ISP), which is not possible in my situation. Do you know if there is any way of combining the bandwidth of the two modems? Or it is easier to just route services (like www traffic on modem 1, email traffic on modem 2..) or route nodes behind it (subnet A routes (has gateway) through modem 1, subnet B routes (has gateway) through modem 2). Also, if anybody of you has some real-life experience with such things it would be very nice to hear from. Thank you very much in advance, BB p.s. Renting a faster bandwidth line is not an option. --- Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day; set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Channel Bonding on FreeBSD without peer support
However, these approaches require support from the other peer (the ISP), which is not possible in my situation. I would say that no solution exist that do not have the colaboration of the other part. You can do as much load balancing on your end, but that is your ISP that will decide to send one packet on one line and the next packet on the other line. There would always be a way to affect few machines of your LAN to one of the line and the rest to the other line, but that will never be full load balancing.
