Combines ADSL Bonded ADSL lines in 1 Tube Better Than Load Balancing

Bonded ADSL is a recent addition to the broadband solutions available on the South African market. Previously the only step for a company once it had reached the limits of your broadband connection has been to try and load balancing across multiple lines.

Load balancing means the routing of network traffic across several different lines, so for example, email may be routed via an ADSL line, while the web traffic will be routed through another. Balances the load could be used to extend the usefulness of a web connection sharing sessions of users through different ADSL lines, to ensure that no line has become saturated, and that users have not experienced a lower speed web access, as more and more users went on.

Bonded ADSL is not load balancing

Once the functionality of load balancing has been exhausted firms were left with only the option to purchase expensive leased lines or DIGINET. Bonded ADSL is a solution that bridges the gap between connections with load balancing and DIGINET. With this solution up to 5 separate phone lines and ties together to provide larger "pipe" to the Internet.

Bonded ADSL is different from a solution of load balancing, which way just different types of traffic such as web or e-mail on a different phone lines. With these solutions, the maximum speed is limited to the capacity of a single ADSL line.

A solution ADSL linked essentially make the individual telephone lines a tube of large dimensions. So, if you bond with 5 lines of 4Mbps and 512Kbps down you can get up to 20Mbps down and 2 Mbps up!

One advantage of ADSL is charged. The drawback was its limited bandwidth, but this is no longer the case of bonded ADSL. You now have a convenient substitute DIGINET or expensive leased lines! ......
