I remember channel bonding from my ISDN times and it made sense since both channels led to the same ISP over the same ISDN card/phone line.
How does channel bonding work across multiple ISPs/NICs?
Edit: This seem to be it:

"The way Speedify used to work is it opened one TCP socket over each Internet connection it used - e.g. one TCP socket over Wi-Fi / cellular / wired Ethernet / etc. With the new protocol, Speedify opens up multiple sockets over each connection (for example 8) - 8 over Wi-Fi / cellular / wired Ethernet / etc."
That seems a bit wasteful towards the server destinations.
- phh 5y agoThe 8 sockets are opened only towards speedify "VPN" server. Once you're out of speedify network, you only have one standard TCP connection, so destination server only sees one connection as expected.
- chinathrow 5y agoThanks for the clarification, I didn't know that Speedify also tunnels every packet through their servers first but it makes now sense to me.
