==== 3.2.2 Priority ====
{{Colored_box|Text=To save your changes, always click on “''Save and Apply''”, then “''Restart Service''”.}}
Per default, WAN connections are prioritized in using their available bandwidth according to their latency. Low-latency connections have higher priority of use since, usually, ethernet connections like DSL are available physically in the vicinity of the router, decreasing their latency. The higher a connection’s latency gets, the lower Bondix S.A.NE sets its priority per default.
You can choose from 3 settings: Default Priority / Higher Priority / Highest Priority


==== 3.2.3 Example ====
====== Priority ======
You have 5 WAN links, 2 of which are 5G/LTE connections, and you only want to use those 2 evenly. To achieve that, you set 3 WAN links to “Do not use”, and your 2 mobile links to “Optimize for speed” and “Default priority”:
Per default, WAN connections are prioritized in using their available bandwidth according to their latency. S.A.NE usually prioritizes low-latency connections like Ethernet connections. The higher a connection’s latency gets, the lower Bondix S.A.NE sets its priority per default. In this section, you can set individual priorities for your WAN links by choosing from the following 4 options:

=== 3.3 Advanced Settings ===
 
{{Colored_box|Text=To save your changes, always click on “''Save and Apply''”, then “''Restart Service''”.}}
 
====== Up- / Downstream Limit ======
By design, Bondix S.A.NE normally finds the maximum bandwidth of a WAN link by continually evaluating data traffic generated by users over time. This can cause fluctuating bandwidths and/or increased buffering especially with, but not limited to, mobile connections. Setting a hard up- and/or downstream limit about 5% lower than the known maximum gives S.A.NE a base to work with, stabilizing and increasing the WAN link’s performance.
 
====== Example ======
You have 4 WAN links, 2 of which are 5G/LTE connections, and you only want to use those 2 evenly. To achieve that, you disable your 2 other WAN links, while giving your 2 mobile links the preset “''Speed''” and the priority “''Default''”:

==== 3.3.1 Local Bondix Web Monitor ====
==== Layer 2 ====
The local Bondix Web Monitor will enable you to have a look at the performance of your WAN links and configure their settings in real time. This is especially helpful if one of your WAN links does not perform as expected.  
With this option, you can set up a layer-2 tunnel directly with S.A.NE. A layer-2 tunnel is a virtual interface that is created on both client and server for each tunnel–packets coming in on one end will come out the other and vice versa. This is an advanced feature; further configuration must be done server-side depending on the usage scenario.
However, any changes you make in the Web Monitor are only temporary and will be reset once the router is restarted.
If you need more information on how to use layer 2 with your Teltonika router, please contact Teltonika directly.

Preparations

To install the Bondix S.A.NE Client on your Teltonika router, you will need a few minutes of stable Internet, a web browser, and possibly some coffee or tea.

Supported browsers

The following browsers have been tested to function properly with Bondix S.A.NE:

  • Google Chrome
  • MS Edge
  • Mozilla Firefox

Teltonika Firmware

Bondix S.A.NE Clients are available for many Teltonika firmware versions. In order to fully benefit from all new features to their full extend though, we recommend you update your Teltonika router model to its latest Teltonika stable firmware at the Knowledge Base.

Client Installation

⚠️ We strongly recommend you reset all router settings before starting the installation.


Visit - Teltonika and download the .TAR.GZ file matching your Teltonika router’s firmware version.

To install the Bondix S.A.NE Client, you will need administration rights on your Teltonika router. For that, make sure you have chosen the option “Advanced” in the section “System” › “Administration” › “General Settings” › “Configuration Mode”.

WAN Interfaces

In this section, you can prioritize the use WAN connections with two sets of options according to your needs.

Tunnel Preset
Preset Effect
Bonding Ensures best performance in regards to bandwidth.
Packet Duplication Used for scenarios where reliability is key: Each packet is sent with a copy.

Please choose this option wisely as it decreases bandwidth to a certain degree.

Packet Duplication 2x Used for scenarios where reliability is key. Each packet is sent with two copies.

Please choose this option wisely as it decreases bandwidth to an even greater degree.

Satellite Mandatory for scenarios where at least one of the bonded WAN links is a satellite connection.

⚠️ Does not apply to Starlink! ⚠️

Interfaces

In this section, you can prioritize the use of WAN connections with two sets of options according to your needs.

5-interfaces.png
Preset

Every type of WAN link has different properties that make them suitable for different needs. You can configure them individually to ideally suit your use cases by choosing from 4 Interface presets:

Preset Effect
Speed The default setting that works for most scenarios.
Low Latency Keeps latency as low as possible at the expense of bandwidth.

Often used for latency-sensitive scenarios, e.g. streaming.

Satellite Mandatory setting for a high-latency WAN link (e.g. satellite).

⚠️ Does not apply to Starlink! ⚠️

TCP Mode Useful if UDP traffic is expected to be problematic (e.g. UDP blocking by provider or local network). May cause higher base latency due to the nature of TCP.


⚠️ To save your changes, always click on “Save and Apply”, then “Restart Service”.


Priority

Per default, WAN connections are prioritized in using their available bandwidth according to their latency. S.A.NE usually prioritizes low-latency connections like Ethernet connections. The higher a connection’s latency gets, the lower Bondix S.A.NE sets its priority per default. In this section, you can set individual priorities for your WAN links by choosing from the following 4 options: Default / High Priority / Higher Priority / Highest Priority


⚠️ To save your changes, always click on “Save and Apply”, then “Restart Service”.


Up- / Downstream Limit

By design, Bondix S.A.NE normally finds the maximum bandwidth of a WAN link by continually evaluating data traffic generated by users over time. This can cause fluctuating bandwidths and/or increased buffering especially with, but not limited to, mobile connections. Setting a hard up- and/or downstream limit about 5% lower than the known maximum gives S.A.NE a base to work with, stabilizing and increasing the WAN link’s performance.

Example

You have 4 WAN links, 2 of which are 5G/LTE connections, and you only want to use those 2 evenly. To achieve that, you disable your 2 other WAN links, while giving your 2 mobile links the preset “Speed” and the priority “Default”:

6-example-crop.png

Advanced Settings

Make sure to choose the following advanced settings for the S.A.NE Client on your Teltonika router:

7-advanced-settings-crop.png
Field Value
Enable Bonding Proxy On

Enable this proxy if you’re bonding connections with vastly different latencies (e.g. DSL and 5G/LTE), since it optimizes TCP connections and increases your overall throughput.

Maximum Packet Size 1400

Change to lower setting if S.A.NE’s automatic MTU packet size detection fails.

Packet HMAC Disabled

Set this value to “SHA256” only if you need tampering-proof data transfer since it reduces the general Bondix S.A.NE performance.

Verify Server Certificate If required, a server certificate can be uploaded here.

Set option to “on” and browse for your CA file to upload.

Layer 2

With this option, you can set up a layer-2 tunnel directly with S.A.NE. A layer-2 tunnel is a virtual interface that is created on both client and server for each tunnel–packets coming in on one end will come out the other and vice versa. This is an advanced feature; further configuration must be done server-side depending on the usage scenario. If you need more information on how to use layer 2 with your Teltonika router, please contact Teltonika directly.

Monitor

With this release version, the local Bondix Web Monitor has been integrated in the Teltonika router menu. The monitor will enable you to have a look at the performance of your WAN links and configure their settings in real time. This is especially helpful if one of your WAN links does not perform as expected. The monitor is only available if you’re connected to your router via HTTP. Due to technical reasons, the monitor will not show if you’re using HTTPS to connect to your router (e.g. via Teltonika RMS).  

Setup

To set up the monitor, choose the following settings in the Advanced Settings section:
