If three different providers, then to my knowledge you are SOL - mlppp is n=
ot an option - unless someone here knows something I don't - which is 100% =
likely :)

Now, that said you can configure your routing to split the traffic amongst =
different connections - so traffic to/from certain hosts use connection A, =
other hosts use B, etc.  You can even get fancy and route based on applicat=
ion and host if you wish.  Ci$co calls this Policy Based Routing.  I'm not =
sure if FBSD or another package such as pf allows similar functionality.  M=
y guess would be yes - but I don't know anything about that.

As for "bonding" or aggregating your connections to appear as a single one =
- not an option AFAIK.

Hello all,

Im using 3 different providers all from Argentina, Clora, Movistar and Pers=
onal.

Thank you

Also, may be obvious to point out, but all (3) connections "must" be from t=
he same provider.  In the lab you could MAYBE get a stable/usable connectio=
n from multiple providers (with just ppp or 'x' encap) by splitting the req=
uests on the egress side - but it's highly unlikely in the real world.  In =
most cases the traffic load is asymmetrical and heavily biased towards ingr=
ess traffic, so even if you could get it to "work" - it wouldn't provide mu=
ch benefit.

Just curious, what provider are you using?
