PROBLEM WITH LOAD BALANCING

Wed Jul 01, 2009 9:41 pm

HI PEPOPLE, I COME BACK TO THIS FORUM;

I HAVE AN ISP WITH 180 SUSCRIPTORS APROX, AND I'M LOAD BALANCING WITH MIKROTIK ROUTER OS USING NTH WITH 6 WAN INTERFACES, IT'S WORKING WELL, BUT I HAVE EL LITTLE PROBLEM, SOME PROTOCOLS LIKE FTP, AND HTTPS DOESN'T WORK IN THE BALANCING, I RESOLVED TEMPORALLY THIS PROBLEM MARKING THE SUSCRIBER'S IP THROUGH AN ESPECIFIC GATEWAY AND WORKS WELL, BUT I WANT TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE LOAD BALANCING.

SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH BUT I DID MY BEST EFFORT, THANKS..

Need to make sure the connection stays on an individual interface.

Hello,
Well i dont have a solution but i am here to ask you a solution for my problem, which is
I have two internet links one is 15 Mbps dsl and second is 2 Mbps wimax.
I have about 100 internet users and all of them are going through my 15 Mbps dsl link.
But lately i have started getting problems with yahoo and other chatting programes. They dont work any more on my dsl, and any other pc2phone service. I assume that my ISP has implemented some kind of software. But on my wimax all these chatting and pc2phone programmes work well. I wanted to if there is any way i can divert my traffic of pc2phone and chatting to wimax link and remaing traffic to go on dsl.
Your reply will be highly appreciated.

Regards
Ak

use mangle, mark packets for desired ports and forward to another interface

hi AtifKhan, i think that you problem is mtu, i had the same problem with my dsl lines, did you change the mtu values?
the another way to solve your problem is mark connection dst-address and create an dstaddress list and add the public ips (but you have to put the entire network) i look for public ip's network in "lacnic" in whois option.
i hope to resolve your problem.

Re: PROBLEM WITH LOAD BALANCING RESOLVED

hi people, i had resolved my problem changing my router os version to 3.24, and i did my load balancing using pcc, with "both address" classifier, it works perfect.

another thing is, what a mesh to pay the licence of mikrotik router os, i tried around 4 hours to get the licence code... "people of mikrotik, you have to do more eficient the payments methods, thanks"

hi AtifKhan, i think that you problem is mtu, i had the same problem with my dsl lines, did you change the mtu values?
what mtu value ur suggetsing...??

ths is what we use ..

service-name="internet" interface=ether3 max-mtu=1480 max-mru=1480
mrru=disabled authentication=pap,chap,mschap1,mschap2
keepalive-timeout=disabled one-session-per-host=yes max-sessions=0
default-profile=pppoe-profile

name="pppoe-profile" local-address=10.10.1.1 remote-address=pppoe-pool
use-compression=default use-vj-compression=no use-encryption=default
only-one=yes change-tcp-mss=no rate-limit=64000/512000


1) do u want me to change mtu/ mru values less than 1480 ? like 1460-1440-- 1420..

there is one mangle rule which we use in our config..(i searched in forum.. dont know its related to topic but here it is ).

chain=forward action=change-mss new-mss=1360 tcp-flags=syn protocol=tcp
