Network stability and reliability is an absolute requirement for telecommunications networks. Bonding interface is a technique that can facilitate the network to serve services that require network stability and reliability. This interface bonding system combines two interfaces into a virtual link that is characterized by the use of one IP address. If a frame is sent from the sender to the receiver, but in the process of sending one of the links there is an interruption, then the link that is still connected will be able to maintain the connection so that frame transmission continues, this working system is called link redundancy. To monitor the condition of the link whether it is connected or broken, a mechanism called link-monitoring is used. The monitoring link used in this final project is Media Independent Interface (MII). The test step is to implement a Bonding Interface network for the use of video streaming, VoIP, and file transfer. The analysis carried out is a failover test that uses a connection switching time parameter and a QoS test with packet loss, delay, jitter, and throughput parameters. The results will then be compared with a network that does not use a Bonding Interface, which is a network that is only connected using one link. From the results of the research conducted is that the Bonding Interface system is able to perform a redundancy mechanism when one of the links is broken/down to an active/connected link and the services that are run are not interrupted. Bonding Interface is also able to provide network stability compared to networks that do not use a Bonding Interface, this is characterized by a smaller jitter value than the use of a network with one link.
