Bonding problem with 2 WANs

Sun Aug 14, 2011 2:06 pm

Hi all

I’ve got a bit of a problem with bonding 2 interfaces. I followed this guide http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Bonding_Examples and created 2 EoIP tunnels to our equipment in London. 1 way it works fantastic and I can see traffic being split between both lines/IPs when downloading but when I try and do the same with uploading it only uses 1 WAN not both. London is on 1x 100Mbps Ethernet so no problems with multiple gateways. Am I missing something simple or do i need to change my config to something more complex. Also forgot to mention each modem on the Bradford side is on its own subnet from the upstream ISP. Thanks all. Jon

is bradford connection using MLPPP (bonded PPPoE or another method?) - it likely will only use one return path for the EoIP since you hve different subnets.. MLPPP would make one single path which will work much better.. also your regular internet will also be over a single path also. your ISP needs to support this.. We do support this.

Hi and thanks for your reply

Nothing is using MLPPP (Connections are over standard ADSL). Only other option i have is to VPN bond somehow. I see traffic being split on the bonding interface and sent down each EoIP tunnel, Its just both EoIP tunnels are being routed down the same physical interface insted of EoIP-1 going to Eth1 and EoIP-2 going to Eth2? See screenshot below. Thanks. Jon

Can you give the ethernet side a second public IP? Im thinking perhaps the pathing picks one tunnel becuase the endpoint is the same.

if your bradford links can do PPPoE you can try bonding and use one EIOP.
