Bonding/Load Balancing With Linux...
Hello,
Here is my scenario: I have three lines from my ISP (all High Speed lines). I have a Linux Box (Slackware 10.2) in between them and my internal network. What I would like to accomplish is to "bond" or "balance" my outgoing and incoming traffic over the three links as equally as possible. I have read this following article and I believe that it would suffice for my needs: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ancing+network Am I correct in assuming that if I were to "bond" three NIC's in my Linux Box that what I would like to accomplish would work? Thanks in advance |
no, you wouldn't do a bond. you'd bond the nics if you wish to combine their throughput and other features on a single network. you still only go from point a to b, but you have a freeway instead of a single lane to drive down... kinda.
check lartc.org chapter 10 for isp load sharing. |
I read the article that I was direct to, but I don't think it's explaining the same situation that I have. This is my situation:
Code:
+-------+ eth1 +-------+ would the balancing work or am I just reading the chapter 10 article incorrectly? Thanks again. |
pants sorry, half the answer to these questions is chapter 10, the others are chapter 4! http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html
