Load balancing over dual L2 backhaul fibre

RouterOS General
1

Good day,

I have two layer 2 back-haul fibers from a remote part of my network. I need to load balance across both fibers.
This part of the network is a separate OSPF area. I have tried using OSPF to load-balance but it does not work. Also tried bonding. No luck

Any ideas?

What device is the other end of that link?
Is it a switch? Or another MikroTik router?

You should be absolutely fine with bonding and balance-rr. Unfortunately, the fewest switches do this as well. And be aware that balance-rr can cause a lot of out-of-order packets.

Thanks for the response.
In our core it is a CCR1036 and the remote network is a RB1100AH X2

Perfect.
So a bonding with balance-rr should absolutely do the trick.

Thank you. Will give it a try over-night.
