Per-Packet Load Balancing with OSPF

Fri Jul 11, 2008 6:31 pm

There is a siple way to switch from ECMP to per-Packet Load Balancing.

The reason is simple: I wand to balance IPSec encrypted traffic, then with ECMP all flow will use only one link.

I don't belive that mikrotik is not capable, CISCO is cabable to change this behaviours:

The alternative is to use Bonding with eoip, but this will increase dramatically the compecity (I will need additional routes...).

I have 3 sites connected with multiple Full-duplex/WL connections and I would like to agragate the bandwith of all this connections.
On the border of the 3 sites I have some 3party VPN that encrypt the traffic.

This means that with ECMP all traffic use the same route.

Only with round-robin/per-packet load balanging I can use all the abailable bandwith.

how can I tell the mikrotik to don't use ECMP and to use round-robin load-balancing?

there is other ways?

Unfortunately there is no option similar to cisco, but you can try to use mangle nth to mark packets equally and then add manually routes with routing marks.
