any way to emulate Peplink efficient load balancing?

RouterOS Forwarding Protocols
1

Hi,
I’ve an entry level Peplink 210 which is great to forward only youtube and netflix traffic via cheap cable links, even selecting the right CDN server on my ISP. Do you think if it’s any way to do the same using mikrotik rules?

Thanks,

While I have not tried this…

Hi,
interesting, but doesn’t say if it’s possible to redirect traffic based on destination domain name, not a certain protocol.
Any other suggestion?

Doing it by domain name is only possible through a script as the normal input must be an IP

Oh I see, and do you know any script? :slight_smile:

You can does with dst-address-list for all ip of youtube

Sorry I’m not a script guy

Hi c0d3rSh3ll,
Did you try it? Do you have any thread link? :slight_smile:

I think part of the thing with the peplink devices and such is that the company providing it has to keep the list of IP addresses / domains up to date so the box can download updates and know what it should be forwarding via a specific link.

Hi c0d3rSh3ll,
I already tried redirecting those IP addresses, but the issue is some of our ISP have their own Google Cache Servers and they’re not part of the IP addresses under standard HE list.
