I don't understand what kind of connection you are describing here ... But I think ( to most of us mortals ) is CRAP.
There is no such thing such as bonding between a linux system and an ISP provider Unless some kind of exotic connection + hardware is involved that I have no knowledge off.
If so please specify and inform us in order to expand our knowledge. You use bonding to aggregate links that is between servers, or between a server and a switch as long as both ends support bonding and the bonding mode desired.On the other hand I have a suspicion that you are confusing Multilink PPP with bonding
Multilink PPP is a ppp link over (n) linksand It can be done with extra $$$ from your part and some extra hw ( Cisco router ) or a linux distro that has ml-ppp enabled.
Google it for some extra info ... Cheers, Harry
Yes, I do mean use both, so at the firewall end you could have multiple bonds (which requires N interfaces, where N=x*y, x being number of interfaces per bond, and y being number of bonds), so to do another piece of ASCII art, you can have this: BOND0 /eth0\____ISP1 / eth1/ FW \ eth2\____ISP2 \eth3/ BOND1 Thus making use of both features, allowing for high throughput and failover.

Actually the two features are unrelated each other, if I'm not going wrong.
