          I have two WAN link, and must both work as if they were one. In other words, I need to carry out the requests management simultaneously between the two links.

            you can do multiwan or mlppp. neither are called "link aggregation".
            mlppp requires support from your isp.

              OK, thanks for the help. I just have one more question. Is there any problem in using two simultanemente links (MLPPP), and occurs problem with sites that do not accept simultaneous connections?

                simultanious/identical tcp/udp packets over multiple links are generally pointless.

                -in multi-wan-loadbalancing scenarios you avoid balancing https sites or use stick connections.
                -with mlppp, as far as i know, the "bonding" will happen at layer2 of the osi model.layer2 is not involved when dealing with websites.

                  When I use this scenario cited by you, I face problems with some websites, pro example, there is a site that is dropping connections, stating that I am using two simultaneous connections, even using stick connections.

                  Note: I'm doing this balaceamento "System: Gateway Groups", with two links marked as Tier 1.
