[AusNOG] load balancing ADSl connections

[Russell Brenner]

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

Egress load-balancing from the tail end seems like more effort than it's worth.

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.

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.

(in the interests of accuracy and completeness).... OR have a nominated
carrier declaration (NCD).
