Hi Lukkes,

I’m also very interested in this too. This weekend I’m planning on trying out load balancing with a 493AH with 8 X ADSL lines (only choice in a remote location with no “proper” IP feed).

How NTH works in v3.x is explained in this wiki article.

OMG .. the same example as in wiki except you will have 8 rules instead of 3 and nth from 1 to 8. Thats it.

/ip firewall mangle
add action=mark-packet chain=prerouting new-packet-mark=1 nth=8,1 passthrough=yes;
add action=mark-packet chain=prerouting new-packet-mark=2 nth=8,2 passthrough=yes;
add action=mark-packet chain=prerouting new-packet-mark=3 nth=8,3 passthrough=yes;
add action=mark-packet chain=prerouting new-packet-mark=4 nth=8,4 passthrough=yes;
add action=mark-packet chain=prerouting new-packet-mark=5 nth=8,5 passthrough=yes;
add action=mark-packet chain=prerouting new-packet-mark=6 nth=8,6 passthrough=yes;
add action=mark-packet chain=prerouting new-packet-mark=7 nth=8,7 passthrough=yes;
add action=mark-packet chain=prerouting new-packet-mark=8 nth=8,8 passthrough=yes;
