bonding technology provides the ability to accelerate a session over multiple WAN connections, so the speed for a single session will be the sum of all the WAN connections. Load-balancers on the other hand will only funnel a session over just one WAN connection and therefore your speed will be limited to that one line that session ends up on.

Hi Xiro,

What is the difference between “bonding” and load balancing ?

AFAIK, both combines bandwidth to single interface.

Virgin has just gone 50Mbps in the UK and Be is now providing 46Mbps connections using Bonded ADSL connections – the issue in the UK is the really rubbish telecoms infrastructure

It all sounds good however even Virgins dedicated high-bandwidth services fail to improve upload speed which bonding would do and in any case most bonding providers limit you to multiple connections from one ISP which means your Bonded connection, like leased lines is still subject to being a single point of failure.

In my research I have discovered services like Broadbond which bonds multiple, mixed connection types including 3G, 21CN and WIMAX from multiple ISP’s which would theoretically overcome the loss of physical connection, issues with routing centres and other issues associated with relying on connections from a single ISP.

2009 will definitely be the year of Bonded ADSL!
