Re: bonding 2 DSL lines.
Please check out LARTC - http://www.lartc.org/. The HOW-TO has examples dealing with the situation. You will have to apply some patches ( http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/#routes) to your kernel and recompile if you want dead gateway detection in addition to plain load balancing. I have done it and it works great. - Manish Kathuria Jeff Bearer wrote: I can't find an application that will allow me to equalize traffic across two DSL lines such as this router does. http://www.nexland.com/turbo.cfm -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

But it only works for ethernet and requires a corresponding configuration on the switch. It has to be a single switch and it has to support etherchannel, link aggregation, port trunking, channel bonding (or whatever other name the switch manufacturer decided to call it). The alternative, if you have intel cards, is Intel's Advanced Networking Software (possibly you only need one intel card to get this to work). Hard to see how bonding could work for 2 DSL lines (but I've never tried it). Might be possible with the intel software depending on the DSL setup. -- Ian [EMAIL PROTECTED]Ian Mortimer Tel: +61 7 3365 3436 Physics Fax: +61 7 3365 1242 University of Queensland -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

bonding 2 DSL lines.
I can't find an application that will allow me to equalize traffic across two DSL lines such as this router does. http://www.nexland.com/turbo.cfm I understand why it's tricky and it wouldn't work with the normal networking stack. But I'm surprised that nobody has some kernel module or that can handle it. The problem is that EQL only works with point to point connections, the default route needs to be the EQL device, which means both ethernet devices don't have default routes, so they can't get out of their respective subnets. I don't expect to find magic, but with the proper kernel module, I'd assume that you could configure the real interfaces so they are handled where they are seperate and both can be configured with default routes, but not visible to the system and not in the route table etc., then create the virtual shared interface that looks like a normal linux interface, that the system uses just like any ethernet interface. Does something like this exist and I simply didn't look in the right place? -- Jeff Bearer, RHCE Webmaster, PittsburghLIVE.com -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
