4x256k = 1x1024 ?

[Keane 16]

I got 3 Airtel BB 256k connections in my house. Plus 1 in the office(ground floor). How do I club em together and share em on all 4 PCs via LAN ?

^ I'm not sure you can do that. Best would to be upgrade to a 1mbps or 512k UL connection and go Wifi !

 

[Keane 16]

Airtel doesn't have a 512kbps U/L plan. And tata sucks.

 

[Anish]

U certainly can't combine 4 256k connections and expect 1mbps speeds.

Its not RAM :rofl:

 

[The Sorcerer]

damn-i thought this was regarding ram

Lol. Oki. Anything else I can do ?

 

[cisco_tech]

it is possible .

get this FireBrick® - Bonding FAQ

The FireBrick only has one WAN port - how do I connect multiple routers?

There are two options:-

1. Configure the FireBrick to use the right hand 4 port switch for WAN, and the left hand port for your LAN

2. Use a small switch or hub between the FireBrick and the ADSL routers

OR

Get Cisco 2811 router and install 4 WIC-ADSL WAN CARD. and load balance them .

OR

how about this

RouterBOARD44 PCI 4-port Ethernet adapter

MikroTik Routers and Wireless

This is the perfect four port card for a router or a server. The easy to use MDI/X feature (accepts both cross-over and straight cables) can now be used on your router or server. This device integrates four 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet ports into one card that is an ideal solution for connecting many networks to one router or for extending your network.

* Four VIA Technologies VT6105M LAN chips

* Works with MikroTik RouterOS, Linux, BSD, Windows, DOS, VXworks

* Recognized as four independent Ethernet ports

* Auto-cross-over cable support (MDI/X)

* IEEE 802.3 10BaseT, IEEE 802.3u 100BaseTX Fast Ethernet, VLAN 802.1q

i know 2nd solution is pretty expensive . (cost u around 1 lacs )

You can get firebrick for around 50-60£ . OR RouterBOARD44 PCI 4-port Ethernet adapter for 100 $ . and install any Linux or Freebsd .

i have worked on their RouterOS Mikrotik . and it is pretty damn good .

thanx

yes a load balancer.

What about Linux Ethernet bonding or RAIN (Redundant array of independent networks) concept.

Check: Ethernet Bonding Configuration in Debian

also check Viveks article on the same: Linux bond or team multiple network interfaces (NIC) into single interface | nixCraft

The packet return path should be same from the interace it leaves.

I use the Linksys RV042 which has two WAN ports.

airtel does have 512k UL atleast in Kerala.. 1999rs..

One question: Will I get 1Mbps download rate (ignoring the obvious TCP overhead) on a single TCP stream?

With basic load balancing, we can very easily get 1Mbps sustained accross n TCP/UDP connections as long as n >= 4.

Is my understanding right.

Bonding is not possible without support from the ISP. And they usually only support if its a commercial connection.

Aitel has a new 512k Ultd plan for 1999 why dont you get that

 

[Keane 16]

And can I share that in ad-hoc(wlan) or just LAN ? Will i get full speeds on both PCs ?
