Hi,

One of my friends works for a company that have two isp services. This company would like to increase it"s bandwidth by using the 2 isp's at the same time.
This would be :
- you send a file to someone on the internet
- the packets are spited up in between the 2 isp's AND SEND AT THE SAME TIME

the aim is sum the bandwidths of the 2 isp's, in order to increase file uploads & downloads.

We found about iproute2. I read the official iproute2 how to. This allow to tailor really fine routing rules. I also red some threads about what people are doing with it. But, i didn't find any exemple about how to do what i'd like to.

Simply : i don't even know if this is possible????????????????????????

thank!

i dunno if its possible, i doubt it.

but

what i do know is that with traffic control in iproute2 you could, for eample say...

eveything from one IP range could go out on one 'isp' as you put it, and everything else could go out on another.

theres a way to do this using a special router that supports the 2 connections..

those all will do the trick.. but they are hardware.. as for if you can do it in linux.. its linux.. im sure you can.. but im not sure how.

i red the product details from these hardware routers. it speaks about load balancing and bandwidth speed up but it doesn't specify that, when you send a file over the internet, the packets will be split up in between these two connections & isp's. I think, they see it more like : this subnet will use this isp and this other one another isp....

i don't know.....
i set up a router & iproute2, but i can't test it cause i do not have enough machines at home and i'd need lot's of ethernet cards...

Who knows about this issue????????? or who (un)succesfully tested it??????????,,,

How 'bout multipath routing with Netsane?
