Adsl Line Bonding

[matrixweb]

Hi How Much Does This Cost? And Is The An Alternative To This That I Could Use To Do The Same Thing???

It's called MLPPP and it will work if your ISP supports it. Telkom doesn't AFAIK.

These guys do this though;

its expensive , almost R2000 then you pay for the lines and isp charges

Hi guys,

I've heard that you can actually combine multiple lines to make a faster line and its called broadband bonding. Additionally, the lines can be from different providers and be different speeds and you dont need software like MLPPP. I'm sure if you google broadband bonding you can find what you're looking for.

Hope this helped.

Hi There

Have a look at VOX Fishbone line bonder. As you said it is expensive so unless you really need the speed go for it.

I've used the VOX Fishbone, (4 x 4Meg lines)
Tested it for about 3 months.

For non-VPN traffic it's STUPID fast.
But for VPN traffic it's useless (just one line is used) because the Fishbone doesn't "know" how to disassemble/assemble encrypted packets.

Only one downside (apart from the VPN issue) when the DSLAM is down ALL your lines are down.

You could do you own setup as well. If i remember correctly some mikrotik routers have a bonding option. But they are complicated to set up. I`d like to hook up a few standard accounts, 3 x home uncapped ones, that would be good. Problem is the offered options are generally business accounts which run at around R2000 per account.

I don't think this is possible. You need to be able to set-up the bonding at the ISP side as well as your own and seeing as it's Telkom we're talking about that isn't going to happen any time soon.

Doubt ful more likely to be a Load Balancing system

You can use MikroTik routers to do the line bonding, but you'll still need a device on the ISP's end to do the line bonding too - like hilton said.

What you can do on your end is load balancing, which doesn't require any devices on the ISP's side.

What about Mweb line bonding? the best priced as far as i can tell....

 

[zsazsa]

Hey guys,

I was doing more research and looking into broadband bonding as a better option than load balancing and came across a company called mushroom networks that seems to sell many devices specifically for this purpose. Does anyone know anything about this company?

Thanks in advance!
