Balance multiple MPLS / VPLS links?

Thu Mar 10, 2011 9:21 am

Sorry ;) Wiki has no example for that - only an empty section.

Anything special to consider?

My requirements:

* Mikrotik based central location
* An external office with two same provider DSL links that must be uplinked and use the bandwidth as good as possible (I.e. not one tcp conncetion on one link). May go to 4 links soon.

I consider using MPLS etc. but simlpy dont find how the balancing would work there.

Please point me to right documentation.

If DSL links are equal why don't you try bonding with "balance rr".

They are, i jsut wonder whether there is something more efficient than that. THere is a wiki page that has sections for that, but these parts only exist as titles.

I am also working on this problem. Looking on MPLS TE tunnels. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

From hat I hear you should leave the fintgers from PPPOE on top of MPLS and rather use VSPLS or so - same result, a LOT lower overhead. The size / speed loss through PPPOE I rea somewhere is significant.

Not more than hearsay at this point, though. Putting my 2nd mikotik into production next friday, then I need to get this into trial phase ;)

Noone picks this up? I noe have both mirkrotiks here, but balancing these still eludes me. Does not help that the wiki pages for this topic are... nonexistent. Noone here is load balancing multiple vpls tunnels?
