Load Balancing

RouterOS General
1

I have been thinking and thought I should ask on this forum if my idea is possible. Servers can be load balanced, that is one can build maybe four same servers like an email server and load balance them. This way if one goes down the others will still work and customers will not notice. Is it possible to build 2 or more core Mikrotik routers and load balance them so that if one dies there will be continuity? If possible would anyone know how to do this? If possible share configurations? I would love to try this in a lab.

Thanks in advance.

VRRP?

“Load Balancing” is something different then “HA (High Availability)”
On the LAN-facing side, you could build some HA using VRRP indeed. Then further upstream towards “Internet” you can also build something with Mikrotik for both HA and load-balancing/distribution.

Thank you. I will build a lab to learn this well. Thank you so much.
