I have had mixed results doing this. The biggest issue is the latency
and throughput need to be fairly similar or you run in to big issues. I
have had success bonding multiple cable modems and DSL together. FYI
these have all been done using two connections from the same provider.
This is another problem all together because then you are likely to get
two addresses on the same subnet with the same gateway. There are ways
around that none too pretty and can change behavior from ROS version to
ROS version.

This was more of a discussion of the technical aspects of bonding
using a remote router and the feasibility than a plan to implement, I
know their are companies that offer routers with a 'cloud' bonding

with mikrotiks

Implementation issues aside, I can’t imagine trying to serve a 50M
DIA customer via DSL or LTE, much less DSL bonded with LTE.
Neither seems like an adequate service for that kind of customer.
When you say 25M DSL, are you talking VDSL, or something like
ADSL2 which is probably already bonded to get that speed?
I’m also thinking that with 2 totally different technologies like
DSL and cellular, with different latency and packet loss
characteristics, you might get away with per-destination load
sharing but not per-packet.
I usually think of “bonding” to mean something at layer 2, like
ADSL supports bonding 2 or more copper lines to increase speed.
Or LAG.
But of course the question will be academic in a few months when
they can get gigabit speeds on 5G. <insert tongue-in-cheek emoji)

mainly interested as a proof of concept, but say you have a
customer who needs 50m dia and you can only get 25m service (say
DSL or LTE) I was interested in bonding them to provide redundancy
and bonding using a remote mikrotik that can provide the tunneling
and aggregation

This sounds like a way to cobble an upstream DIA and feed it
into a fiber.

Depends on the technology, can you load balance, sure, bonding
is a different best and needs to be supported by your upstream..

*Subject:* [AFMUG] Mikrotik wan bonding using hosted router
Has anyone bonded wan interfaces using another mikrotik hosted
elsewhere?
I.e. bonding multiple LTE or DSL connections on the wan of a
remote mikrotik that is tunneled back to another router that
has fiber?
Best practices, what works?
