BLUF: Trying to figure out load balancing and fail over based on differences of ISP throughput.
There was a reference to a very good Load balance presentation where the presenter showed LB via up or down throughput im Mbps (when reaching specified level switch and when decreases to certain level switch back).
However I was looking at an approx 1.5 difference up and down between my two ISP and wanted to use a RATIO approach. X connections to ISP1 and Y connections to ISP2
Looks like NTh is the way to do this. However its not setup for fractions LOL 1.5/1 (after 1.5 sessions switch ISP for the next session). so it got me thinking why not use 3:2 type ration in Nth.
I just want to make sure my perspective is accurate regarding the following statement: For the first three connections/sessions USE ISP1 and for the next two USE ISP2
So if I use an NTH setup
5:1 go to ISP1
5:2 go to ISP1
5:3 go to ISP1
5:4 go to ISP2
5:5 go to ISP2
Is there a shorter way to do this??
In other words why not have a setup that says
5:4 go to ISP2
5:5 go to ISP2
The rest go to ISP1 (how to say that if possible).
Any guidance appreciated.
