I need ip route add equalize (kernel 2.6.26+ ) to use a per-packet method of multiple default routes. Under this scenario (ip route add equalize) each packet entering the router will go out a different route.
it is possible to implement the MikroTik? since the linux-kernel supports this feature…
Thanx

please give us a link where this is described
Oficial iproute2 documentation: http://www.policyrouting.org/iproute2.doc.html
equalize — allow packet by packet randomization on multipath routes. Without this modifier route will be frozen to one selected nexthop, so that load splitting will occur only on per-flow base. Equalize works only if the appropriate kernel configuration option is chosen or if the kernel is patched.
Oficial patch for 2.4.18 is at http://trash.net/~kaber/equalize/

sounds like a round-robin? cant the firewall do this?
with the exception rules for https traffic
yes, you can use ‘nth’ matcher and several marked routes for this
