This might be worth looking into as well! It's an open source load balancer that was originally developed by yahoo and released into the open source community. It is now a part of the Apache project: http://trafficserver.apache.org/ On Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 4:06 PM, Gary Gatten <Ggatten@waddell.com> wrote: > If three different providers, then to my knowledge you are SOL - mlppp is not 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 application 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.

In the lab you could MAYBE get a stable/usable connection from multiple providers (with just ppp or 'x' encap) by splitting the requests 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 ingress traffic, so even if you could get it to "work" - it wouldn't provide much benefit. > > Just curious, what provider are you using? > > > > > > > > > > > <font size="1"> > <div style='border:none;border-bottom:double windowtext 2.25pt;padding:0in 0in 1.0pt 0in'> > </div> > "This email is intended to be reviewed by only the intended recipient > and may contain information that is privileged and/or confidential. > If you are not the intended recipient, you are hereby notified that > any review, use, dissemination, disclosure or copying of this email > and its attachments, if any, is strictly prohibited.
