Re: Multilink PPP Download Speeds With Round-Robin Packets

Hello all,

I've got two DSL lines running to my house, and two WAN NIC's
installed in my FreeBSD router. I've been trying to get multilink ppp
working through my ISP (TekSavvy in Canada) for the last little while,
with mixed results. Each of my DSL lines sync's at 6016 kbits down and
800 kbits up. I have traffic working through the bonded connection,
and the upload speed is 1350 kb, which is about right for a 1.6
megabit connection minus network overhead. The problem I'm running
into is the download speed is only that of one of my downlinks (approx
5000kb, which is about right for 6 megabits minus network overhead).


It is quite possible that the ISP is employing bandwidth limiting and the limits are set to that of one ppp link (since this multilink combines two ppp links into a single link and thus logically it could be limited to that of one ppp connection).
