Load Balancing without routing mark??

RouterOS General
1

hello to all,

I was wondering if there is a way to do load balancing over 2 ISP providers just with these commands

ip route add gateway=10.10.10.1,10.10.10.1,10.10.10.2

my question is that I have a lan with the network 192.168.1.0/24 and these providers WAN1: 10.10.10.1 is giving me 2Mbps and WAN2: 10.10.10.2 is giving me 1Mbps

I tried it but with no luck, and the question is because i’ve been reading in the wiki and all examples are with different subnets, not with a /24 mask and I am not intending to change that to the customers, how can I achieve this process to send 66% of the traffic through 1 ISP and the other 34% through the other ISP without doing subnetting?

thanks for your answers

You can do it with routing marks. Use PCC with three lines, set the same routing mark on two of them.

I have done the same with a /24 subnet and two WAN. I used PCC (Mangle Rules). Really easy to understand. Read this page on the wiki. This page tought me EVERYTHING I needed to know about PCC!

thank you guys…

If I would have to choose between ECMP load balancing with masquerade, NTH load balancing with masquerade and PCC what would have the best performance in my RB493 ?


Best regards

I think PCC is by far the most customizable one of the three. They all require mangle rules that are going to be roughly equally expensive in terms of resources used.
