I'm rewriting my original question as I could advance on my issue.

I'm trying to bond eth0 + wifi on some combine mode to improve transfer rate on with my raspberry pi 3. After reading those docs below I got it to work partially.

Issues:

  1. I want to combine those interfaces but they are working on some kind of fault tolerance only.
  2. Booting is taking too long
  3. Only wifi interface is connecting on boot time
  4. Ethernet interface once up works but alone, I'm assuming it due speedtest results.

My config:

pi@rpi-vpn:~ $ cat /etc/network/interfaces

# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

auto bond0
iface bond0 inet dhcp
        bond-slaves eth0 wlan0
        bond-mode 0
        bond-miimon 100
        #bond-primary eth0
        post-up route add default gw 192.168.1.1 bond0
        pre-down route del default gw 192.168.1.1 bond0

# auto eth0
# iface eth0 inet manual
#       bond-master bond0
#       bond-mode 0

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
        bond-master bond0
        bond-mode 0
        bond-miimon 100
        bond-give-a-chance 10
        wpa-bridge bond0
        wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Uncommenting eth0 interface I got no network at all

All the 3 interfaces bond0, eth0 and wlan0 have the same mac address that is the eth0 one.

The ip 192.168.1.142 is the ip reversed on my ISP router for eth0 mac address

All the tests below were ran without change anything it just seems the first one was wifi only and the last one ethernet only.

  • You should indicate whether or not you have disabled dhcpcd, which runs by default on RpiOS and will screw up or be screwed up by use of ifup and /etc/interfaces stuff in this scenario.

  • @goldilocks dhcpd is disabled in my raspberry I'm use ISP router dhcpd and reservation table.

  • a bond must be configured on both sides. What is configured at the ISP side?

  • I didn't set the other side, probably I misunderstood the concept. Tks for the tip
