1- I have a scenario in which a load balancer is needed for reaching internet.
I have about 12 ADSL modems reaching maybe to 16 which are connected to ISP.
Users maybe 50-100 users.
What is the perfect model to load balance for the 16 ADSL links in addition in the bonding supported.
Bonding to gather the speed of the 16 links and to have a very high speed.
2- are the ADSL links quantity relates to the wan port supported by the load balancer device? or just connect the adsl modems to a switch and then connect form this switch to any of the wan ports in the load balancer to support question 1?
3- Any license needed for above scenario.
regards,
You’d need a Balance 1350 to bond 12 ADSL lines (each ADSL modem needs its own physical WAN port). And then I would recommend a FusionHub virtual appliance hosted in the cloud as the internet breakout.
Its unlikely to work quite like you’d hope though. What speeds are you getting on the ADSL links?
Do a test with two laptops. Plug each into its own ADSL. Run a speedtest on each ADSL circuit separately. Then run a speedtest on both ADSL circuits at the same time. What speeds do you see?
Can you consider using LTE where you are? LTE combined with ADSL always works well…

The EPX would be able to accept 16 ADSL connections but as @MartinLangmaid said, you need to test those ADSL lines to make sure they are not competing against each other for the same bandwidth.

Thanks Martin for your replay,
so i understand from your point that in bonding we need each modem to have its physical wan port, but in the scenario that i need only load balancing, can i connect the modems to the switch then to only one physical port of the load balancer or same as bonding,? each modem needs a physical port.?
regards,
Hi. Each physical WAN requires a physical WAN port on the Peplink Balance.
