I had been thinking of doing this for a while. I have two connections at the moment, I can have 3 if I want. Currently im doing load balancing via an edgerouter x and when you're a family of 5 that works pretty well, connections get spread across the available links equally.
Of course there are two issues with this setup
1. Failover is noticeable. A failing link will kill the connections using that link. That of course means that if you're in a zoom conference, or SSH'd somewhere or doing a download and the link fails then it's going to cut you off.
2. Links are not aggregated. They are round-robin'd. So as mentioned this works when you have several people using it (or you use peer-to-peer downloading).
OpenMPTCPRouter claims to solve both of those issues by using multi-point VPNs to a location in a data centre somewhere with a fat pipe at the end.
So, is anyone doing this setup ? What have you found out about it by running it? Is it true that it will only operate at the speed of the lowest link? Will it aggregate uploads or not ?
