Smart link bonding in MX?

MX product page is showing "Smart link bonding" as a feature.

 

A quick search on that feature doesn't do much. Does anyone know what that is?

If you have two links on an MX at one site and two at another site, the SD-WAN will build over both (at least when they are MPLS links) and you get the combined bandwidth, not for a single stream, but for the traffic as a whole.  The links can all be unequal as long as you tell the MX what each one is.  You can also control to a degree how much traffic goes over each link depending on latency, packet loss etc. so it is 'smart'
