[Voyage-linux] Bonding multiple WAN connections

[Konstantinos Birkos]

Actually I have a set of client applications that need to transfer data 
at rates that totally exceed the uploading capacity of a single HSUPA 
connection. However, the bandwidth of the connection is sufficient for a 
single client. So I thought of using a pool of connections that would be 
allocated to the clients.

I will try to follow the instructions you suggest.

Thank you
