More help with PCC, routed not NATted environment

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

First of all I would like to know if someone has an example of PCC in a routed environment, as opposed to a NATted environment.

This example http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/PCC NAT features quite heavily.

My example is:

Wireless Network → 5 X ADSL Routers → Internet

The Wireless Network is connected to a RouterBOARD 1100 that has 5 ADSL routers attached to it. No NAT is taking place on the RouterBOARD. All NAT is taking place on the 5 x ADSL Routers. I route on the RouterBOARD.

The problems that I am getting are:

(1) It appears PCC does not affect ICMP packages because when I traceroute the data always goes out via a different interface.
(2) Occasional timeouts and some sites (specifically parts of some sites) fail to load, either a time-out otherwise just an indefinite wait.

You don’t need PCC in routed network. Set up simple ECMP.
PCC was introduced to resolve problems with NAT in combination with ECMP and NTH.

If the NAT happens just one step removed PCC works exactly the same way. PCC itself doesn’t have anything to do with NAT at all.
