Forgive me for being a complete beginner in using Mikrotik and my terms as I am not a technical person.
I have a gaming shop including 10 computers for online games and 3 PPPoE accounts from the same ISP.
What I want is to combine those 3 accounts into one that should go through one LAN into a switch.
I want the computers to have the same speed of internet but when 1 computer goes off, I want its share to be distributed to the remaining 9 computers.
I have 2 routerboards (RB750r2 hEX lite), 3 wireless routers and 2 switches.
Good day,
I dont think that you can combine the pipes into one pipe.
You will have 3 independent pipes.
The 3 pipes can serve however a single LAN.
I believe the key to your request is to share the load on the LAN equally among the three connections which seem to be the same up/down being from the same provider.
Thus suggesting a LOAD Balance algorithm that simply rotates turns as the next session requested gets sent out the next ISP (take turns approach) round robin approach
I would also consider failover but if all three ISPs are from the same provider I am not sure there is much point (two distribute the load among the remaining two or one ISP if two go down).
The last consideration is to divide bandwidth equally among users. Thus of the users currently connected to ISP1, they have equal access to available up and down bandwidth, of those users currently connected to ISP 2 they have equal access to up and down bandwidth and those users currently connected to ISP3 have equal access to available up and down bandwidth from ISP3.
Does that sort of capture what you want to do???
The other type of load balancing you may want to consider is simply least load ISP. So the router looks at traffic when a new session is created and says, hey ISP2 is least loaded right now I will send this to ISP2, when the next session arrives it says which ISP is least loaded hey its still ISP 2 and sends the traffic there… etc etc…
Thank you for replying to my thread.
I think I didn’t explain clearly what I need to do.
Please check this image. It may be explaining more what I want to do.
The diagram helps clarify for sure but unless the RB750 can magically bond three separate Public IPs from the provider, then my suggestions still stand.
(I believe the ISP router has to be working with the RB750 to affect bonding, is this possible with your ISP?)
I think all you can hope for is
3 input streams,
The router monitors usage of the 3 streams
The router assigns the next user to the least loaded stream (least load), OR router assigns the next ISP stream in turn (round robin).
In this way, your users will be spread out using the available streams as efficiently as possible.
Hopefully I am wrong and seeing as I have zippo experience it may very well be the case.
