Hi,

> you can use mpd (or ppp) in multilink mode to encapsulate your =
outgoing links via two different tcp paths to you other server where you =
can undo it..
> mpd (and ppp I think) will allow you to select a couple of different =
multiplexing schemes, including one where each packet is cut up and =
sent, so that the slower link would be sending 1/3 of teh packet and the =
faster link would be sending 2/3 of the packet.

just to confirm I had great success with mpd. I have been able to create =
two pptp tunnels (to two different ips, same machine). Setting the right =
link speed, I can almost get the summed speed of the two links. Amazing.
I have now to face some problems (I'd love to remove one of the two ips, =
but I don't seem to be able to create a proper different route. Maybe I =
can try with playing with ports and setfib, which I am already using for =
other tasks on that router).

Thank you very much for this hint. MPD is surely much more efficient =
than lagg, with different speeds.
