Up here in British Columbia, Canada the major ISPs (telco and cable company) have started to enforce caps on bandwidth consumption per month. Other smaller ISPs have sprung out of the woodwork and offer 'unlimited' consumption but the problem is that the quality of their connection is noticeably inferior to that of the major ISPs. In what way could I configure Linux (I'm running FC3) so that it would: 1. utilize both connections to get maximum speed (until the cap is reached on the 1 interface) 2. When one connection goes down, use the other (regardless of cap situation with other ISP). If this isn't possible, no big deal, but it would be nice. 3. Implement traffic shaping so I can prioritize certain ports & PCs. (I already have this setup, but I want to make sure that a solution that allows for load balancing doesn't interfere). I have read through the Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control HOWTO and seen the section on Load Balancing, but it does not cover shutting down one interface once a cap is reached.
