PPTP, nth, anyone got it working?

Sun Apr 17, 2011 11:44 am

Given:

2 Mikrotik, one in a data center, the otherin the office.
The office has 2 ADSL, uses 2 different PPTP connections.

I have made sure both PPTP connections use one ADSL each. That works nice.

PTP uses ransfer addresses (the loopbacks, each) So, the center has 10.225.255.1 and the office 10.255.0.1 on loopback and uses that one too on the PPTP conenctions.

My problem: I want to use BOTH connections, but standard ECMP seems to put IP pairs on specific interfaces only. As this is full routing, ECMP flushing is not an issue.

Anyhow, I tried to use nth mangle in the forward chain to set a routing mark that forced the traffic onto the different PPTP connections. THat worked nice...
..and a file transfer went from 6mb to 800kb, using both connections (each limited to 6mb).

Obviously something is wrong ;) Out of order coming so brutal here?

Anyone got something like that working? I would love to be able to use the full PPTP combined bandwidth especially for filetransfers in the background (priority is already handled).
