Networking at home

I have an older Synology NAS at home, and I am planning to replace it with a custom built NAS. To decide which system to put on it, I have setup 5 different NAS solution in a virtual environment and measured how fast they are. There were two prerequisites to the candidates: they should support WSD and SMB Multichannel.

In this post we will measure the performance on the PPPoE multilink over 2 gigabit connection.

In this post we will measure the performance of balance-rr bonding over 2 gigabit ethernet connections.

I had a dream, to connect two computers on my Home network with two gigabit ethernet connections and have a 2 gigabit connection to use. However even after a lot of experimenting I could not get real benefits in the everyday use. The closest I could get was the PPPoE multilink setup. In this series of post I will share same of the test results for a normal one gigabit network, a bonded 2 gigabit network and a PPPoE multilink 2 gigabit network.
