An acquaintance of mine had dinner with this couple recently and
recommended this post. Thought it might be of interest here. I believe the
brand of router they use (Peplink) has a 'Mitigate Bufferbloat' option, but
the author does not mention that in the post.

Openmptcprouter took a lot of inspiration from our 2017 work to port mptcp
to openwrt.

Mptcp has a mode to duplicate packets over both links, with the slowest one
being discarted.

Biggest problem for videoconferencing is to encapsulate udp in TCP.

But i have seen multipath UDP, but never tested any solution.

With 2 links you might have more bandwidth, mptcp first saturate one link
before using the second one.

If anyone is interested, i can provide help to make a setup.

Best,

It balances evenly, even with UDP traffic based on my testing.

I recently tried OpenMPTCPRouter on 2x Starlink dishes, and even with the
6.1 dev kernel and upstream MPTCP had some really wonky issues, presumably
caused by the loss and/or latency fluctuations. I'd love it if someone
could sort this out...
