I have configured PPPoE server giving out public IP, at the moment the load is over 1g on interface, can i put a switch and configure 2 ports in bridge so it randomly picks client and distributes the load? as we do not have 10G set up at the moment.
thank you.
You can use the rate limit inside the profile used by your PPPoE server in order to limit the traffic sent by your server…
Hi, the best solution (if your switch allows you) is to configure a bonding using 802.3ad or balance-xor, it will do a load balance of your traffic over 2 or plus (8 at max) interfaces. If you want to configure a bridge, I’ll double check that the layer2 domain won’t cause any loop.
Traffic shapping and bonding are totally different things…
Yep, that’s true, but for me if I see the uplink moving 1Gig of traffic and there’s no 10Gig interfaces, best solution will be deploy a bonding of 2-3 interfaces, so the load is going to be load balanced over all interfaces and you omit the hard part of working with two or three different layer2 domains that you have when try to connect 2 interfaces to the same switch, I’ve tested that and it works great with 3 interfaces from the OLT (Huawei 5608T) to a CCR1036-8G-2S+; that CCR1036 works only as PPPoE and its uplink is at 10Gbps; in that case the VLAN for the PPPoE service is configured at the bonding instead of the physical interface.
Thank you, I had tried bonding rr, may be i configured it wrong, as there was jitters and some people could not pay ps4 online games. as they started to freeze in between.
No prob! I’ve always tried with 802.3ad or Balance-XOR, those modes with layer2-and-3 hashing algorithm always gave me good results; can you check with your Switch / OLT if it supports link-aggregation ??
yes the switch does support link aggregation, for balance XOR do I have to configure on both ends, how would it know to aggregate upload? Thank you.
No prob! Just a quick question, what’s the model / vendor for the switch ?? If that’s a Mikrotik then it will work with BalanceXOR at both sides, if not, I’d use 802.3ad, if your traffic is not doing a load balance I’d check the hashing rule at your switch too.
Its a mikrotik, and will try the XOR today.
Thank you for your help!
