udpeq is a program that balances UDP traffic over parallel routes. This is useful if you want to connect two endpoints through several slow or unreliable channels. For example, if you have 3 modem lines and a one-way satellite link, you might want to bond all of these together to form a faster, more reliable "virtual" connection.

udpeq by itself just shuttles UDP packets between two endpoints. You will almost certainly want to use a higher-level tunnel on top of udpeq to provide a "real" IP connection. CIPE or OPENVPN are perfect for this job.

Existing solutions of this nature (for example, multi-link ppp) tend to make simplistic assumptions about the bandwidth and availability of the channels. udpeq attempts to dynamically adjust to changing conditions, being as robust as possible while still being able to maximize throughput.
