Hello, I just stumbled across LARTC and am really excited beacuse i think this is exactly what I needed. Several friends of mine are within wlan range of each other and we all have our own cable modem connections. We wanted to ''bind'' our connections together so that if one user wasnt using his connection his bandwidth would be split between the remaining users. How would i go about doing this? At this time their are 5-7 people wanting to be a part of this, but 30-50 people will want to join in once we get things working. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- ____________________________________________ http://www.operamail.com Get OperaMail Premium today - USD 29.99/year Powered by Outblaze _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/

You could setup some routing and QoS on everyone''s gateways to allow for a type of fail-over situtation, where if your connection was down you could use other peoples'' bandwidth. I can''t think of any way for your gateway to know when its bandwidth was all used up, and start trying WLAN routes - maybe someone else does though. And trying to set it up with 5-7 (30-50) peoples routes would be a nightmare to try and track who was utilising all their bandwidth and who wasn''t. You''d need some kind of dynamic routing protocol that knew about QoS. that''s my 2c worth. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Damion de Soto - Software Engineer email: damion@snapgear.com SnapGear --- ph: +61 7 3435 2809 | Custom Embedded Solutions fax: +61 7 3891 3630 | and Security Appliances web: http://www.snapgear.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/

This will be an excellent little network, and very exciting too. google for "policy routing book" - there is an example in there somewhere. /steve _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
> Unfortunately, I don''t think it would really be worth the effort.I agree with you Steve. I am working in the same project (wireless, my case) but now i don''t have any document to send. So if you are patient i will send you all i have. Policies, test, and everything. So i only can say "be patient". Best regards. Sebastian A.

I have a couple of things built so far that may benefit you, and probably vice-versa. /steve _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
