AAISP support per-packet bonding - this is at the IP level, and simply means that packets entering or leaving your site use the ADSL lines on a roundrobin basis (or based on the speed of the lines). That way, a single TCP/IP session is transmitted over multiple lines. |

We do recommend the FireBrick 105 product for bonding, fallback, and firewalling - as of Oct 2010, this is nearing the end of it's life, and the throughput peaks at around 10-10Mb/s - so with today's faster lines, it's limit may be easily reached. |

AAISP use FireBrick FB6000 routers to manage ADSL 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. |
|||
for fallback, the FB6000 will stop routing IPs down a line that is off line, and from the 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 (ie 1/3 on the 5M line, and 2/3 on the 10M line.) |

There are many ways to bond multiple lines together and there are different reasons for wanting to do this. The main reasons are extra overall speed, and added redundancy against failure. The pages below will give you information about how it works, why it's good to bond lines and how to configure routers for bonding lines.

Full Bonding with a FireBrick
A FireBrick at your side can manage bonding, fallback and firewalling - this would give you maximum benefit of having multiple lines. AAISP staff can configure a router when purchased for bonding for a nominal fee. The FireBrick pages also covers config examples for bonding on the 2500 and 2700 FireBricks
