Re: multiplexing multiple internet connections
>>only if the box on the other side can do it. Been there. The hardware solutions below don't seem to care if the link is cable, xdsl, modem etc. The appliances seems to just loadbalance, firewall, and imux. No working solution yet, but I'm still betting on the linux box ;-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Florent" <florent@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <lvs-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, August 24, 2001 9:50 AM Subject: Re: multiplexing multiple internet connections > Hi, > > I have read that the tulip ethernet cards could do that type of aggregation but only if the box on the other side can do it. > > See the kernel docs. > > Florent > > #->> The max speed you optain is not the bandwidth > #->> sum a download transfer from the internal will have the max speed of one > #->> link not a fully link aggregation. > #->I am looking for linux aggregation solution.
