Please guide me Thanks - Ignatius Mon, 22 Jun 2009 12:34:04 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Internet/ADSL-Bonding-How-To-and-Review.html#comment-476 I've managed to get dual WAN and triple WAN round robin load balancing working using dd-wrt. Using triple WAN I'm getting more than double my original ADSL download speed, but you only get this if you use a download manager for your downloads, as it creates multiple download tasks which are then split across the three ADSL lines in parallel. Solves my problem though - downloading large files faster. - Jonathan Price Sun, 14 Jun 2009 10:01:54 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Internet/ADSL-Bonding-How-To-and-Review.html#comment-436 Hi Chris You might want to take a look at our solution, Sharedband, we offer bonding at the IP layer using low cost commodity routers. It works well in the 21CN environment. The solution is simple, flexible, and effective. See our website www.sharedband.com, you can either buy direct from us or from one of our partners. - Richard Roberts Mon, 18 May 2009 08:03:26 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Internet/ADSL-Bonding-How-To-and-Review.html#comment-381 I currently implement bonded mlppp with Nildram and Cisco equipment, however if mlppp ceases after my exchange is upgraded it will cause quite a lot of problems for me. The other solution is round robin per packet load balancing, this does not increase download speed on a single download (tcp file transfer). Upload packets get sent across all lines though. I recently moved a line to BE bethere.co.uk, they offer a product with 24 meg up, 2.5 meg down for those lucky enough to have a short line to the exchange, the max I get is 8.5 meg down, 1.2 meg up. Looking at the OP's stats I would think he may be able to get the 2.5 meg upstream speed, and all for just £21.50 a month! - Chris Needham Thu, 09 Apr 2009 16:50:32 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Internet/ADSL-Bonding-How-To-and-Review.html#comment-290 We have an existing MLPPP (bonded) service. However it is no longer performing at it's best. The main problem is inbound bonding seems not to be actually active and we only appear to get the max speed of one line. This is in part due to the withdrawall of support for MLPPP at the exchange. Upstream still remains reasonable, but the lack of downstream bonding (evident from throughput testing) tends to indicate that our exchange no longer [fully] supports MLPPP. On top of this the MLPPP protocol 'wastes' some 5-15% of the available bandwidth. Further, when not fully working, MLPPP retries and reconnect delays add to the woes. What I have found out: BT are in the process of changing their core network (Juniper), brought about by 21C BT's upgrade to an all IP network. Here is BT's official stance: "The BT Wholesale IPStream Network does not offer a guarantee that Bonded DSL or DSL lines employing Multi-link Point to Point Protocol (MLPPP) can be supported. Whilst it may be technically possible for a Customer (ISP) to deliver Bonded DSL or MLPPP to an End User, as its not a supported product feature we have no way of guaranteeing support for Customers (ISPs) providing Bonded DSL or MLPPP." Further to this BT have implemented ERX core routers. The new ERX routers use a different architecture and operating system to the existing network equipment, and as such there are issues that are arising which could be impacting a small subset of existing ADSL subscribers with connectivity issues. Neither the new ERX routers, nor the existing network components support the use of Multilink PPP - and this remains unsupported by the network. You need to check the 21cn live date for your exchange (samknows) to get an estimate when this service/ability will cease. This tends one to think that BT has taken this stance to try and stem the loss of leased line/SDSL business to MLPPP setups. - David Barnes Mon, 16 Feb 2009 16:36:58 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Internet/ADSL-Bonding-How-To-and-Review.html#comment-230 @Graeme Sorry to hear you had issues with our equipment. Im surprised you say support was poor as we pride ourselves on responding quickly. I'd appreciate your emailing me with details of your issues as I'm keen to maintain quality. - Mark Rushworth Thu, 18 Dec 2008 15:17:50 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Internet/ADSL-Bonding-How-To-and-Review.html#comment-213 Hi Guys I have tried the solution from xrio and it does not work there support was poor as well ended up going for a cisco system works well. - Graeme Tue, 09 Dec 2008 16:26:31 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Internet/ADSL-Bonding-How-To-and-Review.html#comment-196 Hi Guys, just to let you know we provide "True Bonding" with our UBM devices - see www.xrio.com for more information. - Leanne Waite Sat, 22 Nov 2008 15:03:13 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Internet/ADSL-Bonding-How-To-and-Review.html#comment-195 Hi, I use Orange in Spain. Do you think this will also work with any other provider, or is there something that the carrier has to do on their end as well? - Sam Sadovnik Fri, 21 Nov 2008 22:50:38 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Internet/ADSL-Bonding-How-To-and-Review.html#comment-173 Thanks Paul for this write up .
