Since each Internet connection has its own IP, I see that as a problem. Or can you use one connection as the primary connection, and then use the other connection to spoof packets coming from the primary one?
Answer
The simplest way to use the upload of the 2 lines is to send the packets on the 2 lines just like if you route half the packets to WAN1 and the other half to WAN2.
But in practice it usually doesn't work that well, since you have some things to consider :
- Your ISP may think you try to spoof the IP source address when routing over from the other interface and drop them.
- The so-called "spoofed" packets will have their answer on the real interface, so only one line will be used for downstream
- The latency between the packets might be much different (ie: more jitter), so the packets will be received out-of-order. That should not be a big deal for TCP-based data streams, but for more RT-oriented one that are quite sensible to jitter (such as TCP-interactive : with nagle's algorithm disabled or VoIP) it can introduce nasty delays due to buffering.
@Garth: I don't think he wants to use 2 IP addresses, just the 2 connections, so I don't see the prob with BT (It's only level 2 related) but the usual level 2 caveats do apply.
