I guess if you'd use multiple connections to the same ISP (and same access point) that would solve the problems of different RTT values. Otherwise i can confirm there are problems, i had a lot more (needless) retransmits using a dsl + two isdn links which was probably due to very different RTT on both links. > Cisco recommends the per destination load balancing solution. I think if It's not always practical. For example in my case one of the links is asymetric (256k upstresm/1mbit downstream), the other isn't. So distributing traffic with a normal multipath route would result in some connections (maybe downloads) beeing on the link with slow downstream.
