<div dir="ltr">It works better than you'd think. Each connection has it's own public IP, so requests sent out it, come back in that link - so if you have a good bandwidth-knowledgable gateway, it can easily spread the load across multiple connections. We used to do much the same at ${job-1} with a 10/10 EFM and a couple of ADSL2 links with a pfSense box behind them. The EFM got the *outbound* leg of inter-site VPN traffic, VOIP, and SSH sessions. And everything else was split across the two ADSL connections. <div><br></div><div>Yes, the largest single-stream HTTP download was at 20mbps, but two users would pull 40mbps between them no problems, and with 60 users in the office, it made quite a difference with the day to day usage in the call center :)<div><br></div><div>There were a few issues with sites which assumed that your IP would never change during a login session, and so went and invalidated the user's session if their next HTTP request came from a different IP.

<div>Legalities aside, isn't it fairly pointless to load-balance ADSL from one side?</div>

</div>
<div>Egress load-balancing from the tail end seems like more effort than it's worth. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>IiNet and others, when they offer this service, bond the two links via a single NTU and at the DSLAM, creating a bidirectional aggregated link via MLPPP. </div>

<div>The same could be achieved via layer 3, but you'd need to use eBGP multi path on both ends (ISP and yours), which would require a half decent router or Quagga instance. </div><div><div class="h5">

(in the interests of accuracy and completeness).... OR have a nominated <br>
