Dear FreeBSD community,
I am building a prototype router which provides a network access point to its client through a wireless interface (rtwn0: Realtek 802.11n WLAN Adapter, class 0/0, rev 2.00/2.00, addr 4). Currently the packets received from the wlan0 interface are NATed through my phone attached via usb cable, tethering mode enabled (ipheth1: <Apple Inc. iPhone, class 0/0, rev 2.00/8.01, addr 6>).

What I would to do is to improve the network throughput by exploiting two phones instead of one. For that I was testing the lagg(4) interface, but I have troubles debugging why the link does not get up (I never managed to have at least a laggport <ACTIVE>).

From what I got from the docs, I cannot expect to be able to use “ acp” as distribution algo, as it requires the other side of the links (the phones in this case), to implement the proto too, and it is not the case. I would expect to see “failover”, “loadbalance” and “roundrobin” to work though.

Is there someone that can help me understanding?

Best regards,
Daniel
