how can i get more bandwidth?

Hi,

I'm hosting a http server on a host on my home network. Presently, the
bandwidth I am getting from my isp (through isp's lan network) is about
100 kbps. I need a bandwidth of about 1 mbps. the max affordable
bandwidth i can get from any isp for each connection is 100kbps.

can i somehow aggregate several connections from different isp's to get
the requuired bandwidth?
if so, how do i do that?

all nodes on the home network run redhat 9 (2.4.x)

Regards,
CJ

You cannot aggregate the bandwidth of multiple connections.

Look into wireless ISPs. Mine provides 1800 up and 3000 down for $179
/ month, so my d/l is double a T1 which would be $500 / month. The
antenna on the roof isn't the prettiest thing in the world, but I can
live with it. Uncapped, I had D/L ~4600 which is awesome to behold.
A customer downtown gets >6000 from the same ISP.

If radio is not available in your area, then the LARTC mailing list
should be searched for Ron Senykoff's posting of 30 Mar 2004.

Money - which you do not provide to the ISP.

Also, they have multiple, quite local, mirrors.

They say it does traffic bonding.

Haven't used one so can't recommend it.

Would of thought you could do it with a linux server mind you.

Yes, but you need to be with the same ISP for that to work.

It "bonds" upload by sending packets out on both interfaces with the
same IP address so one is spoofed - you may get away with it on the
assumption that the ISP only filters its addresses as a block.

Andy.

You might be able to do this with a Content Switch from Cisco.
