Thank you to the respondents thus far Pls advise further on this; here's what I have so far I've been digging more into this; Nexland makes a $300+ broadband router product that can aggregate between 2 DSL lines up to 8Mbps this is inexpensive but it's only for 2 lines .. & only up to 8Mbps combined I've found that Solaris 2.6+ can supposedly have multiple default routes in /etc/defaultrouter and can round robin between these. Some claim to have used it to do what I seek. I'd rather stick w/ FBSD here's my question; has anyone looked at the Solaris code for this functionality "coupled" w/ natd ? > >-----Original Message----- > >From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > >[mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On > Behalf Of kjerste > >soderberg > >Sent: Friday, June 15, 2001 2:21 PM > >To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG > >Subject: aggregating bandwidth fr 3 incoming DSL > lines > > > > > >Hi all, > > > >Fat Pipe Networks has these expensive "black boxes" > >that will accept the input of any 4-8 incoming > >ethernet interfaces (say DSL lines, cable modems, > T-1) > >and then aggregate that bandwidth over all > interfaces > > > >Great for load balancing, fail-over, large FTP > >TRANSFERS ... > > > >DON'T KNOW HOW THEY DO IT, whether they NAT > whatever > >.. > > > >Anything I can use in FBSD 4.3 to mimic that type > of > >behavior .. say 3 ethernet NICs in 1 FBSD box that > >accept these 3 incoming DSL-to-ethernet connections > >and a 4th NIC tied to the LAN (w/ NATd running ..) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
