| IrishGeek | Hey, does anyone here know how to bond PPP connections? I've just hit a wall in my project for the young scientist. | 14:54 |
|---|---|---|
| IrishGeek | Anyone? | 14:57 |
| ebel | yo | 14:58 |
| ebel | sorry i don't know anything about that ☹ | 14:58 |
| IrishGeek | damn. thanks tho | 14:58 |
| ebel | what are you doing in the young scientist? | 14:58 |
| IrishGeek | Eirspeed: A fast, reliable connection to the internet using multiple wireless modems networks and technologies | 14:59 |
| ebel | oh cool, sounds interesting ☺ | 14:59 |
| IrishGeek | if only it werent so damn difficult :( | 15:00 |
| ebel | slashtom might know a bit about that | 15:00 |
| tdr112 | IrishGeek: are you doing some sort of mesh network | 15:00 |
| IrishGeek | Trying to bond or gg | 15:00 |
| IrishGeek | 15:00 | |
| IrishGeek | sorry | 15:00 |
| IrishGeek | trying to bond or aggregate mobile broadband connections | 15:00 |
| tdr112 | i dont get what you are trying to do | 15:01 |
| IrishGeek | To use the bandwith available on modems from Three, 02 and Vodafone. | 15:01 |
| IrishGeek | Ie, one connection goes over one interface, next goes over other etc. | 15:02 |
| IrishGeek | Is this possible? | 15:02 |
| slashtom | bonding is a good plan | 15:03 |
| slashtom | where is your end point? | 15:03 |
| IrishGeek | slashtom: only thing is... mobilebroadband uses Point-to-Point protocol which isn't supported. | 15:04 |
| tdr112 | ie you will have 3 modems and you want to split your traffic over the 3 of them to give you 3X the speed | 15:04 |
| IrishGeek | tdr112: theoretically yes. | 15:04 |
| slashtom | you run the PPP over the IP which is setup using PPP | 15:04 |
| IrishGeek | slashtom: I considered using an instance in Amazon EC2 to route connections | 15:05 |
| IrishGeek | Any suggestions? | 15:05 |
| slashtom | pppd? | 15:05 |
| slashtom | look at ISDN examples | 15:05 |
| slashtom | that's the world it is born from | 15:06 |
| IrishGeek | slahtom: pppd is the utility used to setup PPP connections right? I've got all three PPP connections working simultaneously but can't do anything with them | 15:06 |
| IrishGeek | slahtom: pppd is the utility used to setup PPP connections right? I've got all three PPP connections working simultaneously but can't do anything with them | 15:07 |
| slashtom | you need to run more PPP tunnels over these connections | 15:07 |
| IrishGeek | problem is, all three modems use different access numbers, ports, IP's etc | 15:07 |
| IrishGeek | more PPP tunnels... | 15:08 |
| slashtom | aye! | 15:08 |
| slashtom | you can tunnel over tunnels | 15:08 |
| IrishGeek | right... I'll look into that | 15:08 |
| IrishGeek | is there no simpler way, like routing packets requested to different interfaces, if you catch my drift? | 15:09 |
| slashtom | you're making your life difficult | 15:11 |
| slashtom | tunnelling over tunnels is easier than it sounds | 15:11 |
| ebel | yeah tunnels on top of tunnels is common] | 15:11 |
| IrishGeek | ok... so PPP tunnels are. Sorry, is mise Noob | 15:11 |
| ebel | that's what vpn (for example) is. another tunnel on top of your connection | 15:12 |
| * slashtom suggests you start looking a howtos on ISDN PPP bonding | 15:12 | |
| IrishGeek | thanks, slashtom. How do I get them all working simultaneously though? Like for increased speeds | 15:13 |
| IrishGeek | to be honest, I thought bonding would be the simplest solution, then I crashed full speed into a brick wall | 15:15 |
| slashtom | which was? | 15:20 |
| IrishGeek | that bonding only works with ethx interfaces, not PPP | 15:20 |
| IrishGeek | brb | 15:23 |
| slashtom | bonding must work with pppx interfaces, it was often used in the dailup days | 15:24 |
| IrishGeek | not with ifenslave, it doesn't | 15:26 |
| IrishGeek | or does it....... | 15:26 |
| IrishGeek | slashtom: my problem is that PPP connections fail to appear as interfaces in the /etc/network/interfaces file | 15:32 |
| IrishGeek | so can Ijust add them? | 15:33 |
| andru | you could scan for network devices | 15:35 |
| IrishGeek | how, when I do ifconfig, they appear just fine. But not inthe /etc/network/interfaces file | 15:36 |
| andru | netstat -n | 15:36 |
| andru | sorry I had to make sure what command it was | 15:36 |
| IrishGeek | all i get is 5000 lines about bus connections | 15:37 |
| andru | if you can already see em with ifconfig thats not going to help | 15:37 |
| andru | am....... | 15:37 |
| IrishGeek | but not in /etc/network/interfaces...... hmmmmm | 15:38 |
| andru | I'm sure you would have checked already but here an answer to adding devices to the folder | 15:39 |
| andru | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1455513 | 15:39 |
| IrishGeek | hmmmm | 15:41 |
| slashtom | you don't need them to appear in /etc/network/interfaces | 15:53 |
| slashtom | but if you like, you can add them in there | 15:53 |
| slashtom | it's not difficult | 15:53 |
| slashtom | /etc/network/interfaces is a config file, not a dynamically generated status file | 15:54 |
| czajkowski | aloha | 16:24 |
| slashtom | hello | 16:25 |
| slashtom | can we take cztab off the twitter ignore now? | 16:26 |
| czajkowski | :s | 16:34 |

| infoturtle | guys, where would I pick up a few official Ubuntu cd's? | 23:37 |
| ShaneM | Probably ubuntu.ie | 23:38 |
| ShaneM | *.com | 23:38 |
| ShaneM | Sorry | 23:38 |
| tdr112 | infoturtle: i have about 50 left | 23:39 |
| tdr112 | are you up in dublin any time | 23:39 |
| infoturtle | aw ye??! I wanted to take some to the 3 collages in Limerick and set up a stall, give some out and promote the Limerick Ubuntu hour, don't think I will to be honest but if I were to transfer you money for p&p would you be up for sending em? | 23:41 |
| tdr112 | sure i guess so | 23:48 |
| tdr112 | i gave lots out to the dublin colleges | 23:49 |
| tdr112 | and some at a event two weeks ago | 23:49 |
| infoturtle | did you pay for them, I have a stack of DVD's I'm not using but would it be lame to hand those out? if you not up for that it's cool cos I just had a look at the store and might get some stickers as well so I could just buy some of the CD's | 23:50 |
| tdr112 | nope it was an order i got to give out at en event mark was it cztab got them for me | 23:54 |
| tdr112 | infoturtle: check out redbrick.dcu.ie/~tdr/blog for info about the cds and event i gave them out at | 23:58 |
| tdr112 | infoturtle: i will head into tog tomorrow and see how many i have left and then get back on to you | 23:58 |
| infoturtle | cool that would be fantastic! thanks | 23:59 |
