Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: lartc@vger.kernel.org Hi - I am trying to find a Linux based solution for one of my clients, I want to bond two adsl lines into one, with redundancy (if one fails the other does all the work). I've been looking into ECMP (Equal Cost Multipath), I know BGP would work, but something like ECMP would be much simpler. I have full control of both ends of the connections and I can have both ADSL lines terminate in the same router on each end. I guess my question for the list is; is ECMP a solution for this? I know it does the round-robin distribution of packets, but can it still work if one line fails? Or do I have to run a routing protocol to remove the bad route from the table? Also, any good links to documentation on ECMP for linux would be very helpful.
