Topic: suppose (scatter / gather) to get over speed limits?

[Hardijs]

By this testing ( http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=13286.msg50327#msg50327 ) I have concluded that my ISP is limiting my connection to approx 56.4 KB/sec [as it looks like] per IP - I have 8 IP subnet. so in theory I may go up to 8 * 50=400 KB. The total throughput of my connection to the ISP  is 3 Mbit so there is still a lot of sufficient headroom for improvement .

In essence if I attach several IP's to outWire then the throughput of
say IP1+IP2+IP3 is larger than IP1+IP2+IP3->NAT'ed esmith -> outWire


Also the system is AthlonXP1.6 with sufficient RAM so that should not be the problem as well (except in the case the NIC card and or it's driver is not on par)

The idea would be to have acceptable advert exchange (say not in 6 hours but in 1 or even les)

does anyone have idea how can I scatter / gather exteral communication - like a "multiple paired/parallel VPN"?

Also what would be the most efficient methof of transfering large files - say 1GB or more?

Your math is off. 56.4KB ( times 8 bits) approx. equals a 512kbps throughput (some 20% is overhead). 8 channels at 512kbps is 4Mbits./sec. So you have exhausted your bandwidth.

I have an 512kbps DSL. The best I get is 58KB as a download speed for a single file. If I do 2 files simultaneously I can get a total sum around 86KB, so my lousy ISP seems to allow some fudging of bandwidth.

>Your math is off.

May be - may be not :/

What I get now is 56 KB  = 560 Kbit (@ 10 bits for including the overhead)
So - still there are 2400 Kbit "unused".

What I want to know -  is there a way to get them and still use the SME server as the "wall"?

Well,
where are you going to put the channells back together.
The problem with these types of tunneling is that even if you can fragment requests at the IP level, some where down those multiple tiny pipes you'll need a big one to recombine all the information.
You can setup each individually and with some use of various applications emulate a pipe, but your best bet is to have multiple VPN's to the point of UPlink and then use that as your gateway. Quite  a bit difficult in pratice.
