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.
-New products are due very soon to replace the 105.
===Packet re-ordering===
As IP packets are taking separate routes to get to you, there is potential for packets to be out of order. This can happen where the ADSL lines have different amounts of latency. -this can be overcome to some extent by adding/removing 'interleaving' on the ADSL lines. Latency can be easily seen on the CQL graphs for your lines on the ADSL Control Pages.
In theory, out of order packets should not be a problem, TCP copes with out of order packets, but some applications may have problems. We have seen some VPNs and specific video streaming applications being very sensitive to packets being out of order. This is rare though.
