To: questions@FreeBSD.org Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Has anyone thought about tackling load balanced slip/ppp on FreeBSD? I've had a little poke around in the kernel, and it looks like there are a couple of places one could hack it in, but I don't have the expertise to do that, much less to do it properly. I would guess that to do it properly would require either the ability of one route to be attached to multiple interfaces, or for e.g. sl1 to be declared to be an alias for sl0. Or I guess the 'real properly' would be multilink PPP. Any thoughts? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel O'Callaghan | Phone : +61-3-9344 8128 ITS - CWIS Team | Fax : +61-3-9347 4803 The University of Melbourne | E-mail: danny@www.unimelb.edu.au Parkville, Vic 3052, Australia | http://www.unimelb.edu.au/~danny
