Hi, I need a help on Linux routing, if you have some sparse time. I'm based in Madagascar and my English is not good; so please forgive me. What I want to come-up with: My main goal is to download using two modems at the same time, and combining their bandwidth, but I have failed miserably. The reason is this: our country is still using poor slow internets, and I have seen on the Internet the various ways of combining several Internet connections into one single connection, to get a higher bandwidth. What I have: I have 2 modem, 2 accounts on the 1 same ISP. I have tried using openSUSE 10.2 and Gentoo 2007.0, but none of them satisfied my deep need. What I have tried already: I have been spending days on the Routing guide that you provided on http://lartc.org/howto/, but I have failed miserably to make it work, and my Internet connection is all broken when I try it. I'm not a Network expert, and I'm so confused by what all the addresses, interfaces, ... that need to be configured. Multilinking doesn't work either, and so, routing is the last resort. The problems that I'm facing: My connection is broken whenever I tried using the multilinking routing techniques that you showed on the site. And I thus have to reboot everytime it gets broken. Here is what my ip shows me, as you instructed in the guide: Using 1 modem only: # ip route show 2.2.2.2 dev ppp0 proto kernel scope link src 62.56.163.150 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link default via 2.2.2.2 dev ppp0 # ip link show 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,10000> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 18: ppp0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,10000> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 3 link/ppp Using both modem: # ip route show 2.2.2.2 dev ppp0 proto kernel scope link src 62.56.163.150 2.2.2.2 dev ppp1 proto kernel scope link src 62.56.163.135 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link default via 2.2.2.2 dev ppp0 # ip link show 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,10000> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 18: ppp0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,10000> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 3 link/ppp 19: ppp1: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,10000> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 3 link/ppp I'm just asking you to help me, of course, if you have time. I'm desperate to have this thing working, and I can issue any commands that you ask into my system, if you need to. Thanks a lot. Zedeck. PS: Current system is Gentoo 2007.0. |
