This will split only HTTP traffic , Bitorrent ,IM and other protocols
will not get effected.
I am still looking for real way to split TCP upload/download traffic
between two ISPs , I know some ppl already implemented this on
Mikrotik routers with downlink coming from VSAT & uplink going through
ADSL , and it is working just fine , I see they have half the latency
for duplex VSAT traffic since their upload go through fiber link.
