I don't understand what kind of connection you are describing here ...
But I think ( to most of us mortals ) is CRAP.
Calm down, please.
There is no such thing such as bonding between a linux system and an
ISP provider
Unless some kind of exotic connection + hardware is involved that I
have no knowledge off.
If so please specify and inform us in order to expand our knowledge.
Bonding is about to utilize multiple ethernet interfaces (network cards)
inside the same machine as one single virtual interface (that Linux
usually identify with "bond0" or "bond1" o so). With bonding one
implement faul tolerance in LAN connection (not WAN!) and, in some
cases, even load balancing. Bonding is "ethernet on steroids", but is
totally unrelated with WAN connections.
You use bonding to aggregate links that is
between servers,
or between a server and a switch
as long as both ends support bonding and the bonding mode desired.
Linux bonding can leverage bonding aware switches or servers, but it
works perfectly even with dumb switches.
On the other hand I have a suspicion that you are confusing Multilink
PPP with bonding
Totally unrelated!
Multilink PPP is a ppp link over (n) links
and It can be done with extra $$$ from your part and some extra hw (
Cisco router ) or a linux distro that has ml-ppp enabled.
The second is undubtly the best! :-)
