You don't use that to merge two internet lines, that's for making two NIC's work as if they were only one, thus doubling the speed. With bonding linux "sees" one device where you had two. You can only set up bonding between two computers or between a computer and a switch which supports bonding (it's got different names depending on the brand). > thanks > > On Sun, 2005-05-22 at 00:33 +0200, Kenneth Kalmer wrote: > > On 5/21/05, Sadus . <sadus@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > Hello, > > > If i want to search for HOWTOs that can enable me to merge the > > > connection speed of multiple providers (inboud/outbound), what should i > > > search for? > > > > The nano howto if I'm not mistaken, and have a look at the eql qdisc > > and teql device. > > > > > > > > what i mean by merging is, lets say my connection is shaped at 100K and > > > the other is also shaped at 100K, i want to be able using the 2 ISPs to > > > have 200K (in/out), > > > > > > Does anyone have a HOWTO or Article about that Matter? > > > > I asked a similar question in the list not too long ago.
