    Hello,

    I have three totally distinct network connections at
    my office. We have an ISDN line, a T1, and a DSL
    connection. I do not need to worry about the
    particulars of each connection, because I actually
    have an ethernet drop for each of them - someone else
    does the routing/csu-dsu/etc. - I just get a usable
    ethernet drop that supports DHCP (a distinct DHCP
    service on each port - they aren't related).

    What I would like to do is build a PC with three
    network cards in it, connect each card to each of
    those three network drops, and use 10% of the total
    bandwidth of each connection - somehow turning that
    into one single network connection that that PC would
    use.

    BUT I do not want some kind of round-robin scheme
    wherein TCP session X uses the fraction of the ISDN,
    and TCP session Y uses the fraction of the T1, etc. -
    I want the end result to be one single connection that
    behaves just like any other single connection.

    Is this possible ?

    Is netgraph one2many the correct mechanism to be
    looking at ?

    Basically I want a connection that, at the end,
    presents itself to the system as one single connection
    with one single IP, and gives effective bandwidth of
    (percentage-ISDN) + (percentage-T1) +
    (percentage-DSL).

    Thanks.
