Basics
- Essentially blending two or more networks to increase bandwith and/or add redundancy
- Also known as "Network Bonding"
- Great for turning slow speed internet to high speed, and for redundany for critical applications
- Main Con is More than Double the Cost, due to equipment needed, and having to have two cables etc
- Can be done with two of the same source (Two DSL/Coaxial/Fiber Network/Cellulat/Satellite Connects) or two different types (Most common is some landline, and cellular/satellite for redundancy)
Software/Settings Needed
Hardware
- Need some IT expert for this really, currently this is all armchair research by User:Eric
Off the Shelf
- Seperate modems and a configurable ethernet router such as
- This model
- can supposedly work
Existing Open Source
- Supposedly linux builds can do this
