[Voyage-linux] Bonding multiple WAN connections

[Gustin Johnson]

I have done this in voyage based on the instructions at lartc.org (3 x 3g
connections on one voyage box).  I am not sure what you mean exactly by
aggregation, as each client connection was still limited by the bandwidth of
each individual 3g link.  To get a round this would require the co-operation
of the 3g provider.

I suppose you might be able to get around that by creating a tunnel to a 3rd
site (that has more bandwidth than both of your 3g links) and then
bonding/trunking those tunnels together.

There are really a number of options for you depending on what the problem
you are trying to solve.  For providing access to a network via a pool of 3g
modems  is pretty straightforward to.   A single logical link that combines
your 3g modems is probably harder to do, I have never tried to do this.
