Bonding network devices together is quite simple, but it needs to be |
21 |
configured on both ends. |
22 |
In other words, to merge 2 DSL-connections together using bonding, you |
23 |
need to get both from the same ISP and the ISP would need to support it on |
24 |
their end. |

|
26 |
If bonding can't be done on the ISP-side, you can use seperate |
27 |
load-balancing/failover using other techniques. |
