We often need to use per packet nth mangle rules to route packets up multiple DSL lines.

The config can be achieved using nth mangle, but it would be nice if a simple method could be introduced.

on a cisco the following in each dialler can do it:
it would be great if a simple command would allow the default route to be set on a round robin packet basis
like ECMP but per packet.

eg something like or even

Anyone else like this ?

Brilliant idea and long overdue! Also, add a wizard (like there is for hotspot setup and DHCP Server setup) to just allow the wizard set it all up for you! Tick the interfaces, punch in any IPs/GWs, job done!

This is actually TOTALLY NOT NEEDED.

INSTEAD - Mikrotik should finally give us a MLPPP server. Then we get dynamic balancing over multuiple lines with full bndwidth management without writing mangle rules.

The MLPPP client is there, just the server is missing. I would rather prefer that becasue it handles things like single links being down a lot better than nth mangling.

nickshore, per-packet balancing is only possible if you don't use NAT. do you?..

No we don't use NAT, we use a decent IP which provides us with a real internet link

For our scenario an MLPPP server would not help, we do not have control of the far end.

Our ISP can already round robin the packets down to us, proportionately to the link speeds. We just need to be able to do the same on the uplink.

I agree with original topic. A Long overdue option, either that or provide IPv6 Mangle Nth in the interim. Another long overdue option!

Friends ideally something that allows load balancing wan of different value, for example:

WAN1 (20 Mb) -------->
| -------------> Edge router (mikrotik)
WAN2 (8Mb) --------->

considering the burden of wan and doing round-robin.

Cisco and others use various methods such as MLPPP, eirgp and some protocols gateway.

Today the problem is that all methods of balancing used in mikrotik connection, and when several large downloads agree connection (Megaupload, etc), complete with an overload of customers wan to go for it have a bad service.This problem occurs with the same capacity also wan
