Windows 10 Channel Bonding: the Ultimate Guide to Link Aggregation

Looking for a way to combine and use multiple Internet connections on your Windows 10 computer at the same time? You’ve probably heard of terms such as Network (NIC) Teaming or link aggregation with mixed network adapters. What they all have in common is a complex setup with a lot of incompatibility issues users complain about.

Read below to see how you can set up a Windows 10 channel bonding solution in minutes using just a software app.

Here’s your typical Internet connection: imagine yourself driving for a weekend getaway on a one-lane street. And many others like you on the road. Too many cars means that the traffic is slow. Plus, if there were an incident on the road, everybody would have to stop, so nobody would reach the destination in due time.

When you combine 2 or more Internet connections, it’s like having multiple roads that lead to the same destination. You would be able to switch from one road to another if one gets congested and you’ll be sure you’ll get there in time, if not even faster!

This is exactly what channel bonding does – it splits your traffic across multiple Internet connections so that communication happens faster and chances of your overall connection dropping are almost zero.

Speedify’s unique channel bonding technology enables you to securely use multiple Internet connections at the same time for increased bandwidth, lower latency and better connection stability. Once connected to our fast secure VPN servers in the cloud, Speedify protects your privacy and optimizes your online experience by intelligently distributing online traffic between all available Internet connections on your Windows 10 computer.

Speedify’s patent pending channel bonding solution adds some perks to the standard specs of channel bonding, for your convenience:

• Security and online privacy: Speedify has mobile VPN capabilities and securely combines multiple Internet streams so that you can be sure no one can eavesdrop on your online traffic. You can be sure your private browsing data is safe even on public WiFi networks.
• Efficiency: Most link aggregation solutions aren’t intelligent and just blindly split traffic over each network connection in a “round robin” manner, like dealing cards in a card game. Speedify’s smart channel bonding technology is able to detect the capabilities of each network connection and intelligently distributes the traffic so that you will get up to 95% efficiency of their combined throughput.
• Performance: Unlike more expensive, hardware-based channel bonding solutions, Speedify’s Windows 10 channel bonding technology is software-based and isn’t limited by any bonding hardware. It will always be usable whether you change something in your Internet setup and it’s budget friendly!

Speedify is a fully featured channel bonding solution for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS devices. Some may think it’s a load balancing service – but it’s not. It’s much more than that!

Whereas load balancing works by optimizing Internet traffic per network sockets, channel bonding on the other hand goes one step further and optimizes traffic into smaller chunks of data – network packets. Learn more about Windows 10 channel bonding vs. load balancing.
