Naturally i could expect all data to go back through the device with that corresponding IP , atleast that is what happens according to ethereal how to use iproute/iptables to balance by packet OUTBOUND traffic between 2 PPP (pptp cable modem and pppoe adsl modem) links to the same ISP . also by using the fact that the ISP dosen't filter source IP address - meaning i can use either PPP's link assigned IP address as the source IP in the ip header.., it works for both devices.., what i want to achive is : when uploading a large file , i could use both devices to shoot data but bound only to one source IP.
