'''From the Internet to you.'''
AAISP use FireBrick FB6000 routers to manage ADSL connections. This manages the bonding of traffic from AAISP to your location.
AAISP use FireBrick FB9000 routers to manage connections. This manages the bonding of traffic from AAISP to your location.
IP blocks (configured on Clueless) can be routed to multiple lines on your login.
IP blocks (configured on the control pages) can be routed to multiple lines on your login.

for fallback, the FB6000 will stop routing IPs down a line that is off line, and from the [[:Category:Control Pages|Control Pages]] you can control which lines are used.
Speed wise, the FB6000 will route based on the speed of the line - so if you have a 10M line and a 5M line, then the traffic will be weighted correctly (i.e. 1/3 on the 5M line, and 2/3 on the 10M line.)
For fallback, the FB9000 will stop routing IPs down a line that is off line, and from the [[:Category:Control Pages|Control Pages]] you can control which lines are used.

Speed wise, the FB9000 will route based on the speed of the line - so if you have a 100M line and a 500M line, then the traffic will be weighted correctly (i.e. 1/5 on the 100M line, and 4/5 on the 500M line.) - though preference will be given to the 'faster' line - that is the line that has lower latency - the one that will get the packet from us to you in the shortest time.

==More upload speed==
Upload bonding requires a device at your side to route IP packet up alternate lines.
Typically a FireBrick can do this, as well as provide fallback (not using a line that is down) and firewalling. AAISP staff can also configure the Firebrick for your lines for a nominal fee.

There are other devices that can do this, some of the Mikrotik range of routers can do this.

Linux is capable of doing both basic [[Linux upload bonding using multipath routing|upload bonding by multipath routing]]. It can also do [[Linux upload bonding using policy routing|sophisticated upload bonding using a combination of policy routing and firewall rules]].

See [[:Category:Bonding Configuration]] for example configurations for various routers.
