You can get outbound link equalisation with the sch_teql module. you'll
need the iproute2+tc utilities to configure it.
i've attached a my kernel config with network options set up to be able to
use the teql scheduler.
once you've built the kernel, use modconf to add the sch_teql module.
change default route to both interfaces:
ip route change default scope global nexthop via x.x.x.x dev eth0 \
nexthop via y.y.y.y dev eth1
add both interfaces to the same teql queue.
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root teql0
tc qdisc add dev eth1 root teql0
ountbound traffic should now be balanced. there's very little
documentation for this scheduler, but from what i can understand this does
it. find the source for the module in the kernel tree for what docs there
do exist, in the comments.
