Bonded ADSL is a recent addition to the broadband solutions available in the South African market. Previously the only step up for a company, once it had reached the limits of its broadband connection was to try load balancing across several lines.
Load balancing means routing different network traffic across different lines, so for example mail would be routed across one ADSL line while web traffic would be routed across another. Load balances could be used to extend the usefulness of a connection by dividing users web sessions across different ADSL lines, to ensure that no one line became saturated, and that users did not experienced decreasing web access speeds as more and more users climbed on.
Bonded ADSL is not load balancing
Once the capabilities of load balancing had been exhausted corporates were left with the only option of buying expensive leased line or diginet. Bonded ADSL is a solution that fills the gap between load balanced connections and diginet. With this solution up to 5 separate telephone lines and bonds them together to provide one larger “pipe” to the Internet.
Bonded ADSL is different from a load balancing solution, which simply route different type of traffic, such as web or mail, over different telephone lines. With these solutions the maximum throughput is limited to the capabilities of a single ADSL line.
A bonded ADSL solution essentially make the individual phone lines one large pipe. So if you bond 5 lines with 4Mbps up and 512Kbps down you can get up to 20Mbps down and 2Mbps up!
One of the advantages of ADSL is is cost. Its disadvantage was its limited bandwidth, but this is no longer the case with bonded ADSL. Now you have a cost-effective replacement for expensive diginet or leased lines!
