WAN to LAN routing from Multiple WAN with different latency

Hi to you all.

I’m reaching out for a bit of advice. I’m providing a temporary network for a festival. We always have a challenge getting connectivity to random places in a field.

So in this instance we will be using several sources. Different clients onsite have different requirements. Low mid and high priority.

I don’t think load balancing would be a good idea due to massive latency difference, what I would like to achieve is to be able to route-

Satellite load balanced WAN to a specific interface for low
ADSL load balanced WAN to a specific interface for mid
Fibre line to WAN to a specific interface for high

I’ll then VLAN at core switch, so then when I do different SSIDs on access points.

So would mangle be the best way do do this? I’m not very good at that yet.

If anyone has any great ideas I would karma you forever, also a bit of a sense check to see if there are any huge holes in this plan.

Thanks

Rowan

Using mangle and routing marks, then adding routing paths for each mark you can force the clan traffic to different wan interfaces.

Thanks Trollman, I had a feeling it was something like that. I’m still getting my head around mangle so I’ll have a go at programming something.

Any idea if all dns requests can be routed via the path of least latency?

Cheers

You can do absolutelly whatever you need.

Route all DNS over a single connectivity, route rest distributed over other connectivities, etc.

Its really only up to your how you want to do it, when its just a matter of proper Mangle config.

I use mikrotik device as dns, then for traffic from mikrotik to dns server I route through one specific wan, so yes it can[WHITE SMILING FACE]
