RAID for Internet Connections

[AvatarTT]

Just came across this thing called TeePipe >_>

You are a power user. You have the fastest DSL link available in your area- 7Mbs downstream for $80 per month. It is a great deal, but you want faster. You call your DSL provider and tell them you want a faster link, but 7Mbs is the fastest DSL you can get. The next step up is a bonded T3 which offers 8Mbs for $2200 per month. With TeePipe, you could just order a second 7Mbs DSL line and combine it with the first to create a virtual 14Mbs link for only $160 per month.

But it gets better. Instead of ordering a second DSL line, you might want to consider ordering a cable modem link. You would still use TeePipe to combine the DSL connection with the cable connection and again have super-fast browsing at a reasonable price. But now if your DSL line ever goes down (and they do), you would still be able to use the cable link. And vice versa. TeePipe automatically uses whatever bandwidth is available, so the only impact an outage has on you is that your peak speed is reduced. You keep on surfing.

Why buy one big and expensive pipe when you can have lots of little ones?

lol @ Crixx

...me long time forget the dual dial-up modem combination men used to have running jus to squeeze every KB out of their DL speed!

It's basically doing software routing, anyone with a decent dual nic mobo ( like me ) can do this with linux, windows server or server patched xp, regular xp or vista won't tho.

Windows will only allow 1 active gateway per device, teepipe assumes you have 1 nic and are a noob, whch is 99.9999% of pc users anyway.

Also there are hardware level dual nic servers and workstations sold by the usual (dell, HP, etc) that act as 1 nic for redundancy.
