Can anyboby confirm to me that mikrotik can do realtime load balancing like the in the Product below attached. This is a kind of solution am working on for and would be willing to recomend mikrotik if it is viable. Please advise on ealier experiences on the same
linkproof_datasheet.pdf (763 KB)
Mikrotik ROS seems very good at this sort of aplication.
Ive been using it for link failover between Customer locations (largest has 5 locations) and each location has two independant internet connections, if one connection fails they might lose 1 packet during the switch, remote desktop etc doesnt even notice 99% of the time.
It would pay to have someone that knows about Mikrotik and the various protocols etc to advise on your specific application though is this can get complicated pretty fast.
Cheers
The LinkProof box is pretty fancy, you will be able to get most of the functionality with Mikrotik, but not all.
What I would recommend is putting a RouterBoard at each of the office sites, running EoIP tunnels between all of them in a full mesh fashion, asign /30 IP ranges on each of the EoIP links and then run OSPF over the EoIP links to provide link failover.
Tunnel-mode IPSEC is another option instead of EoIP allowing the data to be encrypted, but unfortunately Mikrotik do not support it 
Mikrotik supports IPSEC tunnel mode
In policy’s configuration set tunnel=yes
the question here is not really failover but an intelligent load balancing where all the links are used simulteneously and the mikrotik takes the cost effective route/path in terms of latency to a particular site etc. we need to utilise all ISP’s bandwidth at the same time
Load balancing is also possible, look at this article

Basically almost everything that is in that datasheet can be also done on RouterOS.
Hi mrz, sorry my terminology was incorrect, I meant “virtual interface” mode, where the IPSEC terminates at each end into a Virtual Tunnel Interface. This is a common feature we use every day on thousands of client sites and is available on FortiOS, ScreenOS, JunOS and IOS
