Load balance 2-3 DSL with PCC

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Returning to MikroTik after an 8-year hiatus, so I’m a bit rusty! :smiley:

I’d like to combine 2 or 3 aDSL links for redundancy and load balancing, each are dissimilar speed capacities.

The network will support varying numbers of clients ranging from a few dozen to 150+.

Would it be appropriate to use http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Advanced_Routing_Failover_without_Scripting to load balance and fail over combined with http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:PCC for the policy routing to mark the traffic? Is that even correct, PCC would be considered policy routing?

Thanks in advance,
Scott

That is definitely a working way to go!

Cool, thanks for the confirmation- I just needed to hear that before I began trying to make this work. Just curious, do I need to add in some additional code to prevent saturation of the low capacity links first? If I have three links: 5, 25, 30 and I’m trying to push 30 traffic through, will the PCC split the 30 into 10 to each link thereby saturating the 5? Thanks in advance.
