Not just showing off speedtest! How to combine telkom + biznet into one path using mptcp, is it possible?
Have you ever thought about having two internet connections at home, for example Telkom and Biznet, so you want the speed to be combined into one? If you only know all this time Load balance Usually, get ready to get acquainted with more powerful technology.
Recently, a viral post from Ahmad Mishbahuddin who showed off the results of the combination of Telkom and Biznet bandwidth Full. the difference is the same Load balance Ordinary? If Load balance Often only share the burden (eg Youtube via Telkom, download via Biznet), this technique can make a download session or speedtest pulling bandwidth from both providers at once!
What’s the secret? acquaintance with mptcp
The technology used here is called MPTCP (MultiPath TCP). In simple terms, ordinary TCP can only pass one path (one IP). But with MPTCP, your data can be broken down and sent through multiple lines (many ISPs) simultaneously, then put together again at the end of the destination.
In the post, the combat tools used include:
- mptcp: The main protocol for breaking the internet path.
- Socat: Tool for connecting data between ports or protocols.
- SING-BOX: Universal Proxy Platform that is on the rise for internet routing.
Why is this better than the usual load balance?
Main problem Load balance Traditional is its “per-session” nature. This means, if you are speedtest, usually only one ISP works optimally. You will not be able to get 100 Mbps (Telkom) + 100 Mbps (Biznet) = 200 Mbps in one click test.
But with this MPTCP + Sing-Box, the system is forced to combine the data pipe capacity of the two providers. The result? The speed obtained is the real accumulation of all the providers you have.
how do you try it?
This Ahmad is also kind enough to share the script on GitHub via the link github.com/mgi24/mptcp-internet-combine. However, it should be noted that this is not a one-click installation for beginners. You need:
- Supporting devices (usually Linux or OpenWRT-based routers).
- Basic understanding of networking and command lines.
- Outside VPS servers (optional, method-dependent) to reunite traffic.
Conclusion
This technology is a breath of fresh air for the Bandwidth Hunter In Indonesia, which has more than one ISP but feels that it is not optimal. Even though the configuration is a bit technical, the results of the “peak performance” obtained are not kidding.
How about it? Interested in trying to fix the router at home and merge all the existing ISPs?
