Bonding Multiple Internet Connections

[ipexa]

Hey Guys,

 

I am trying to Bundle and Bond multiple internet connections i am getting from 5 Modems+.

And I would love to offer the Bonded Connection as a WIIFI Hotspot.

 

I tried multiple solutions like OpenMPTC, Speedify and didnt got on any further.

 

I hope that you can recommend a Solution, that might not need that much power and space. Should be best for mobile and on the go if possible, without any lag when a connection gets disconnected at best.

 

Thank you and appreciate you for reading and your interest in helping.

 

Best regards

Maybe Raspberry Pi or Orange Pi Software? ^^

the problem with bonding is that it's not magic, either you're just spreading out the connections, or you need some exit point for your bonded connections to end up in (a datacenter node with plenty of bandwidth, most likely)

 

spreading out the connections wont make any "single" transaction any faster, but it will allow you to spread users around, or essentially "add up" data caps of multiple connections.

 

the other option is to essentially have a VPN tunnel of sorts that's spread across multiple connections, and gets aggregated back together somewhere where you have plenty of speed to the outside world.

 

either way.. i presume you're not about to invest in the enterprise equipment that'll do aggregated tunnels, so you're gonna be having to do this yourself either with something like opnsense, or straight up in linux.

 

i've essentially only ever seen either of these solutions used once;

- the spreading out was someone who had two ISP's for redundancy, and if neither was down it spread the load a bit to stay within data cap limits. this person did this all with linux firewall.. because he was a mad man.

- the aggregated tunnels thing was enterprise gear to get good speed out of crappy residential connections.

damn when i seen bonding all i thought of was bonding 2 56k modems and lines for faster dialup speeds. god im old lol

I agree with thus.

 

So, this means that WAN load balancing would be the next best thing, keeping in mind that it does the spreading out of different unique connections.

 

If you are up for that but don't want to sign up for a monthly service or do some crazy elaborate DIY/home brew install from scratch, then get one of the ubiquiti Edgerouter models that meets your needs and call it a day. I use my ER-X for WAN failover and it does it well.

Can you be more specific here, as those solutions you mentioned are specifically for what you want.

 

Basically OpenMPTC you need to run it on a server somewhere to be the end-point, whereas Speedify you pay them to handle that aspect (but its not intended to be ran on the client, not shared).

 

No matter which you choose, if the latency varies too much between the different Internet connections, performance is likely to be poor.

Hey Guys, thanks for your answers. I tried the Pi with huawei e3372 and OpenMPTC Server in Datacenter.

I am trying to use the Bundled Connection for Streaming. Yeah I know that Belabox automatically bundles, but i know that they do not give the option to create a bundled hotspot!
