I am a Network Engineer. I open this discussion so that everyone who had networking issues (home networking devices like network hard disk and etc, cisco routers, cisco switches, configurations, and others that related to networking or computers), feel free to ask and we can discuss the problems and solutions. Hope to build a community we can help each other in term of work and etc.

Ohh... thats sounds good..that you are here to help us... Well my problem is that, If i have two or more Network adapters, and all are from different ISP and the speed is around 512kbps in both ISP, then how can i bind these two adapters to get double speed i.e. 1Mbps. As i search a lot about this matter and found a very little thing...about load balancing but can't understand that... Can you please help me to find the solution of this problem... Hope to reply from you soon!!!

According to my knowledge, there is no way you can combine two adapters to get a combined speed of 1Mbps. Load Balancing cannot work in such a way. Load Balancing can only redirect incoming network traffics to working cluster hosts if a host fails or offline. There another way which is bandwidth shaping devices or protocol, but it also cannot combine your two 512kbps to 1Mbps. it only can switch when the other is using too much bandwidth. for example, one of your 512kbps is having too many connections or used up too much bandwidth, bandwidth shaping will help you to connect to your other 512kbps connection.
