Bonding has to be supported by both ends (ISP end and your end; making 1 Link

To change the subject slightly...I seem to remember I could only activate one WAN connection per type. Ex: outgoing PPPoe and a second DHCP (for Cable), but not dual PPPoe. Is this true or did I miss something...

A single connection can't make use of the sum of all interfaces bandwidth this 
way as one connection can only use one link but a bunch of connections (even 
from the same host) together can use all the links and thus all the bandwidth 
of all the links. Another option is policy based routing like sending traffic 
type a via WANa and type b via WANb. Balancing and policy based routing can be 
used at the same time.

Betreff: [pfSense-discussion] Bonding incoming interfaces


With pfSense, is it possible to bond together several
incoming media (for instance several DSL circuits), to
provide create larger bandwidth to the LAN? And if so, could
one effectively creates create greater outgoing bandwidth?
