Hi,

I need a help on Linux routing, if you have some sparse time. I'm based
in Madagascar and my English is not good; so please forgive me.

*What I want to come-up with:

*My main goal is to download using two modems at the same time, and
combining their bandwidth, but I have failed miserably. The reason is
this: our country is still using poor slow internets, and I have seen on
the Internet the various ways of combining several Internet connections
into one single connection, to get a higher bandwidth.

*What I have:*

I have 2 modem, 2 accounts on the 1 same ISP.
I have tried using openSUSE 10.2 and Gentoo 2007.0, but none of them
satisfied my deep need.

*What I have tried already:*

I have been spending days on the Routing guide that you provided on
http://lartc.org/howto/, but I have failed miserably to make it work,
and my Internet connection is all broken when I try it.
I'm not a Network expert, and I'm so confused by what all the addresses,
interfaces, ... that need to be configured.

Multilinking doesn't work either, and so, routing is the last resort.

*The problems that I'm facing:*

My connection is broken whenever I tried using the multilinking routing
techniques that you showed on the site. And I thus have to reboot
everytime it gets broken.


Here is what my ip shows me, as you instructed in the guide:

    _Using 1 modem only:
_
# ip route show
2.2.2.2 dev ppp0  proto kernel  scope link  src 62.56.163.150
127.0.0.0/8 dev lo  scope link
default via 2.2.2.2 dev ppp0

# ip link show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,10000> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
18: ppp0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,10000> mtu 1500 qdisc
pfifo_fast qlen 3
    link/ppp

    _Using both modem:_

# ip route show
2.2.2.2 dev ppp0  proto kernel  scope link  src 62.56.163.150
2.2.2.2 dev ppp1  proto kernel  scope link  src 62.56.163.135
127.0.0.0/8 dev lo  scope link
default via 2.2.2.2 dev ppp0

# ip link show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,10000> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
18: ppp0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,10000> mtu 1500 qdisc
pfifo_fast qlen 3
    link/ppp
19: ppp1: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,10000> mtu 1500 qdisc
pfifo_fast qlen 3
    link/ppp

I'm just asking you to help me, of course, if you have time. I'm
desperate to have this thing working, and I can issue any commands that
you ask into my system, if you need to.

Thanks a lot.

Zedeck.


PS: Current system is Gentoo 2007.0.
