just bought...

merging university lan port with comcast cable and balancing in my apartment... I'm hoping it will let me bias specific traffic that I know the university's packet shaper is kind to off to one side...
 
depends.....it looks like it uses RIPv1 and v2. Those are pretty simple protocols with RIPv1 being the simplest of the simple. You can indeed load balance, but unless the otherside supports it (unlikely since RIP can only hop 16 times and is an interrior routing protocol) it will be somewhat useless.

If you want SERIOUS load balancing for free, check out Astaro Security Linux.


I don't mean to rag on your new toy..it is nice...just explaining RIP.
 
would you mind expanding on that?

if I can even use it to push web traffic off to the lan line on it's better days to free up the cable for heavier traffic on oddball ports, that alone would be worth the cost imho.
