You were right, the usb modem mehtod was just a way for me to see how
usb modems works in linux, u basicly add new firmware and load the
driver and it sees your usb modem also as a ethernet device and u use
pppd with that :-)
*nod* That's the experience that I had too. I will say that I
perceived performance to be a bit better with the USB ADSL modem than I
did with external bridging modems. I attributed this perceived
performance improvement to be related to more intelligent caching of
data on the system with the IP stack with comparison to external modems
that did not know if there would be any more packets coming or not thus
the external would have to wait longer before transmitting packets. I
have no numbers to back this up, but I did perceive a performance
improvement both under Linux and Windows with my USB ADSL modem and
under Windows with my PCI ADSL modem.
Im trying your option below to get increased upload, but no luck yet
from your ascii , mine looks similar
+-----------+ +---------+
+--------+ | ...245.18 +-----+ ...77.1 | +-------+
| ...0.x +-----+ ...0.1 | | COLO +-----+ 101.x |
+--------+ | ...245.19 +-----+ ...78.1 | +-------+
+-----------+ +---------+
(Slight clean up.)
the background how I got this setup is that 245.18 and 19 has pppoe
into my ISP, then I made a pptp tunnel to COLO on 2 diffrent ips and
got my new ips which is 245.18 Ptp 77.1 and 245.19 Ptp 78.1.
All this works fine, I've even add multiple routes to 101.x via dev
ppp0 nexthop dev ppp1, but this just load balances the links, not
increase uploads
Where are you doing your NATing to the world? Are you NATing on your
PPtP tunnels or on the COLO system?
Is it possible at all to route all upload via both links at the same
time, maybe disable the cached routes, let it just change routes the
whole time?
If you are doing your NATing on the COLO system and you add two routes
to your internal network via the two PPtP tunnels, you should be able to
equal cost multipath route across both PPtP tunnels to achieve increased
bandwidth. The key part is that both tunnels have to appear to the
world as a single external IP.
Thanks agian for your help
You are welcome.
