Bonding Information: Difference between revisions

Our broadband services allow use of multiple lines to provide both of these objectives. Our extra line service allows additional lines on the same login at the same site sharing the same tariff.
 
One of the key benefits of our service is that downlink bonding can be achieved with nothing more than multiple cheap ADSLDSL routers on your network. There is no need for expensive multi-line ADSLDSL routers.
 
AAISP support per-packet '''bonding''' - this is at the IP level, and simply means that packets entering or leaving your site use the ADSLDSL lines on a round-robin basis (orwell, actually it based on the speed and latency of the lines in that we decide which circuit to send the packet based on which circuit will get the packet to you the quickest). That way, a single TCP/IP session is transmitted over multiple lines.
 
MLPPP (Multilink PPP) Is not supported - it was originally designed for ISDN, and AAISP take the view that bonding at the IP level is the way to do bonding.
