Mushroom networks Broadband bonding is a unique broadband service. Mushroom networks Broadband simply fuse multiple broadband connections together to give you a much faster and much more reliable connection. The bonded connection combines the bandwidth capacity of each circuit connected, in both uplink and downlink directions and presents itself to the network via a single cable and public IP or address range. With bonding, your VPN, Remote Services, bandwidth sensitive applications and cloud-based applications will perform more effectively. In addition, your business broadband connection will be protected by multiple paths giving you a level of redundancy over a single service connection. Given we can bond any type of service from any carrier; your level of redundancy is greatly increased.

Broadband Bonding Service is an optional service for bonding the internet service which enable monthly subscription for BBNA devices to uplink bonding capability for any type of Internet traffic for both http and non-http (downlink bonding at packet granularity and uplink aggregation at session granularity are already built into all BBNA devices that operate in standalone mode and this standalone mode does not require Broadband Bonding Service).

Add any ISP to Broadband Bonding Service will add the uplink for the fast and more reliable Internet connection. Without the BBS service all the BBNA devices will not drive to a traffic uplinks standalone with bonding capability and aggregation mode. BBS will help in all the traffic types includes the session based.

Truffle, Truffle Lite, Portabella are the devices used for Broadband Bonding Service to make the bonding between the internet lines.

Downlink and Uplink Bonding with Broadband Bonding Service - Truffle is a load balancing router with packet level Software Defined WAN aggregation. Truffle bonds Internet access lines for all types of traffic (including encrypted traffic such as VPN) for aggregated downlink and uplink capacity when peered over the Internet with another Truffle located at the headquarter office or data center. For single office setups optional Broadband Bonding Service subscription enables downlink/uplink bonding.

Acceleration - All HTTP downlink sessions are aggregated for faster transfer via the Broadband Bonding WAN aggregation technology. Truffle is a load balancing router with packet granularity aggregation. Even in cases of single HTTP session (an example of such a session is a single file download), all Internet access lines are simultaneously and intelligently combined together to provide a faster data transfer for that single session.
