Could you build this?
Partial Cross-platform channel bonding and multi-interface socket binding require low-level OS networking APIs and custom socket management across operating systems.
What it would actually take: Needs a cross-platform desktop framework (Rust or Go with Tauri/C++) implementing socket binding (`SO_BINDTODEVICE` on Linux, `IP_BOUND_IF` on macOS, or `SIO_ROUTING_INTERFACE_QUERY` on Windows) to route chunked HTTP requests or BitTorrent peer connections simultaneously across distinct network interfaces. The hard part is adaptive bandwidth allocation, congestion control, and connection failover across differing interface latencies. Requires solid systems programming and networking domain expertise.
