hi
I have small ISP with around 40 users
see the pic
PLEASE
advice to separate users on the 2 wan
with centralized hotspot with radius in the server
thanks
thanksIf you want to share the combined capacity of the two adsl lines you first have to arrange that second line to reach the hotspot/main distribution server. Use a separate physical connection for that. You don't want data to travel up and down your back hauls twice.
After that you then have several options for loadbalancing. Plenty of examples in the wiki and discussions on this forum. PCC works fine for me with 3 adsl lines but depending on the setup of your hotspot server and possible webproxy you have to decide what kind of PCC setup works best for the services you are offering.
After that you just distribute the capacity over your network. Try to avoid bridging as much as possible. When the amount of users and the amount of data transport increases routing or any other tunnel distribution protocols are much faster.
Yes, almost anything is possible. For tunnels etc. someone else has to jump in this topic. Although I am not a newbie after 5 years of membership I still work with a fully routed network that so far works fine for me and my customers. Tunnels might improve things but every chapter in deploying networks has its own merits and I still haven't found time to learn enough about tunnels to fully understand all the ins/outs, pro's and cons, of each different one.will physical connection is quite difficult for me
the second option is to tunnel this second line for my private using. is this possible? and how ? which protocol?
from bridging to routing ? I'm newbie how ?
