[OpenWrt-Devel] OpenWrt on RBM33G for Bonding (Layer 2)

[Jonathan Thibault]

Hello,

I do not think it would be possible to achieve this reliably via L2 bonding.

Latency differences and link loss detection would make such a setup very 
finicky.  If the point is to use MultiPathTCP, I think your best bet 
would be run a VPN over MultiPath TCP and, take the encapsulation 
penalty.  If you use an L2 (tap) vpn, this interface would more or less 
behave as you expect a 'bond' interface to.

I'm not familiar enough with MultiPath TCP to know if the endpoints 
(Say, OpenVPN in TAP mode over TCP) need specific support for the 
protocol however.

Let us know if you get it to work.
