nth option configuration is changed at 3.0, it does not contain 'counter' option, there are 'every' and 'packet'.

In 3.0 nth values should be 2,1 and 2,2. Note that you must set passthrough to yes, if you want those rules to work correctly.

i tryed with 2,1 and 2,2 and the trafic not pass to the NAT rules, and is not proporcional the trafic betwen odd and even packets.

As a result, there is no trafic at the even interface.

Yes juantellez, back to 2.9.46 version for load balance. Mikrotik team: test and correct (if necessary) or explain the correct mode.

Mangle:

/ip firewall mangle
add action=log chain=prerouting comment="" connection-state=new disabled=no \
log-prefix=""
add action=mark-connection chain=prerouting comment="" connection-state=new \
disabled=no new-connection-mark=AAA nth=2,1 passthrough=yes
add action=mark-connection chain=prerouting comment="" connection-state=new \
disabled=no new-connection-mark=BBB nth=2,2 passthrough=yes

Nat:

/ip firewall nat
add action=passthrough chain=srcnat comment="" connection-mark=AAA disabled=no \
out-interface=ether2
add action=passthrough chain=srcnat comment="" connection-mark=BBB disabled=no \
out-interface=ether2


It works, marked connections goes through nat rules.
... and is not proportional the traffic between odd and even packets...
Add those rules and watch counters, you will see that connections are marked even. As I wrote in previous post passthrough must be set. You need it because next nth rule must see connection passed through previous rule in order to match correctly.

As a result, there is no trafic at the even interface.

with 2 rules you will mark as follows if passthrough is not set:
1) first rule nth=2,1 rule will match every first packet of 2, hence, 50% of all the traffic that is machet by the rules
2) second rule if passthrough=no will mach ONLY 25% of traffic because in 3.0 you need only one rule to catch traffic not like 2.9

Solved - can't do the load balancing in 3.0

Tue Oct 09, 2007 10:45 pm

Hi all, thank's for the help, i finally can make load balancing on RouterOS 3.0rc5. it's a fact, like janisk say's, version 3 only need one rule, to say the router to send every first packet of 2 (NTH=2,1). There just have to be one route for the rule, and just 1 rule for nat.

This is a copy of my router configuration:

[admin@Controller] /ip route> print

protocol=tcp

3 ;;; 2Mb
chain=srcnat action=src-nat to-addresses=192.168.1.78 to-ports=0-65535 connection-mark=2Mb


It work's fine, not exactly 50% of trafic in each interface but i think it is becouse interface Internet1 has 4Mbps and Internet2 2Mbps speed.

Attached is a graphic of the 2 interfaces

Good luck to all.

If you have a DSL router, bring an static private address to the microtik, with both connections. That way you could do the SRC-NAT

See the "bold", is it possible for gateway using name instad of IP Address?? I Think I miss your mean for IP Address configuration, can you explain it to me?

The example from gmeyer works great!!! I use the same configuration but with three adsl lines. Thanks for the help.
I use x86 based sys, intel core 2 duo, 1 gb ram, runing ROS 3.2 L5 license.

Have you a failover script for that config??? that would be great!!!

hi

thanks for gmeyer and the great help he offered us.
i did the configuration 100% , 5 pppoe connections from the same ISP.
the 5 pppoe dialed and had a success connection to the isp , i can ping google.com from
the Tool - ping of ROS v3.7 with a good reply from all interfaces, but i CAN'T have internet
or pings from my pc at the lan side. i've been working on it from 3 days but all what i had is
bad luck. i don't know what am i missing.

any help please
10x in advance

adaheem - have you set up masquarade or routed you have pulbic ip addresses.

Akangage - you can use interface names to route traffic through ppp interfaces that get dynamic ip address when they connect

thanks Janisk

i solved the problem right now, it was a DNS and has been solved.

now after it worked i realized that msn messenger and yahoo messenger are signning out alot
and when i make a download file its only taking from one of the five pppoe connections even i am using download accelrator which uses multi sessions. so the traffic is only using one pppoe of the 5.


10x again

Dear gmeyer
thanks for your e.g
But in mine case l can see that the downlink is well balanced but the uplink uses only the default route .

Any help in load balancing the uplink too.
Thanks
