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.

AAISP have been providing bonded ADSL services for many years... There are various things to consider and understand...
 
=Bonding=
 
==Tunnelled bonding==
Another approach is to use a tunnelling system of some sort such as a VPN or FireBrick tunnels to tunnel traffic via one or more lines to a tunnel endpoint held in a data centre. We offer hosting services and host FireBricks as tunnel endpoints. Using FB2700's at both sides will allow multiple tunnelled connections which can be via multiple ADSL lines that are even from different internet providers.
 
=Examples=
 
 
 
==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
 
=Bonding FTTC Circuits=
FTTC lines can be bonded in exactly the same way - although we do sometimes see congestion on the BT network due to the huge amount of bandwidth! We have customers bonding 2 FTTC lines with a FireBrick 2700, giving the full throughput.
