6/13 I'd like to add some link redundancy to my home network. Is it
possible to use Comcast cable and a dsl connection to do this?
How could I configure this network? Ideally I would like it to
balance traffic across both when both are available.
\_ you could set up a bsd or linux box with three nic's
as a firewall in front of your router. not sure how
complicated the load balancing would be, though.
\_ Running BGP on two Soekris or PCEngines boxes might do it.
Depending on how much redundancy you need, you might want to make
two firewalls failover with CARP or something similar. -John
\_ Don't you need BGP support from your ISP?
\_ I'm not 100% sure on this--I thought you could set up
interior BGP to provide some cockamamy load balancing
and failover semblance, although I may be mistaken. I will
check it out, though. I have heard from people who've done
just what op proposed, I just don't remember how they
accomplished it. -John
\_ You could do this with a Linksys RV042 VPN router (just ignore the
VPN functionality)
\_ This is a pricey router. Can I do the same thing with a modified
WRT54G? I think what I need is multipath routing. |
