Is it possible to setup a router to do Link aggregation as in combine two OR more PPPoE connections then Nat them to the local Lan ?

Thanks!

(if possible pls provide example)

yes, you may use MLPPP, if your provider support that

Thanks

I doubt these guys know how to even enable such option though.

is there a simple way for me to find out without asking them?

in the document it says: “To enable Multilink PPP, simply specify multiple interfaces in “interfaces” property, it will bundle them together, if PPPoE server allows that.”

I assume the first part is talking about when creating a PPPoE client cause thats the only thing that has the interfaces option.

The second option, “if PPPoE server allows that.” … i assume i’d have to try to find out?

yes. if it does not supported - then Load-Balancing is your only solution. look at PCC

so how does load balancing work exactly?
if i setup two pppoe connections and then through my lan i begin to load a web page on a computer does the router force both pppoe connections to assist in loading the web page?

load balancing is when some connections go through one link, another - through other one

ya but can you make the router split up loading a web page into two links?

8

with or without using proxy?

i dont know u tell me which way works better?

hmmm… I thought… why do you need to split a single page on two different uplinks? each uplink is fast enough for one page, but when your users open 20 pages simultaneously, then one half will be opened via link1, and others - via link2. that’s load-balancing
