I need little help regarding MIKROTIK. Recently I installed Mikrotik RB750 at a friends cable.network.
There are 3 DSL connected with MT. Using traffic base routing, I routed all HTTP traffic to DSL-1 , and rest of all traffic to DSL-2. DSL-3 is empty at a moment. All Working fine so far.
On this network, YOUTUBE is heavily used. Now I Want that only YOUTUBE or .flv (or any extention ) traffic should be routed to DSL 3. I have seen few posts regarding youtube routing, but none with any working solution.
Once you determine the content of an HTTP transaction it is too late to swing it to another circuit, for various reasons.
Your only options are either using a proxy that listens to the entire request before proxying it out and can somehow indicate via DSCP marks or its own routing decision that it’s a YouTube destined request (the built in proxy cannot do that for you), or tracking all the IP space used by YouTube and making routing decisions solely based on destination IP. In the latter case your run of the mill policy routing configuration would do.
