The counter

Tue Aug 22, 2006 12:20 pm

Eugene, using the Nth function to mark pkts is a great feature and i would like to understand this function better with your help please.

The "every" option in a load balancing example would depict the number of gateways for a network that you would like to use.

The "packet" option will choose which packet to mark and in a simple loadbalancing setup will mark 1 pkt/gw thus the "packet" option will also be equal to the number of gw's starting from 0 and ending on the number equal to the amount of gw's.

The "counter" option though i do not understand clearly. Please will you explain the counter function using a simple load balancing scenario?

"counter" is just a counter. nothing more. it should be the same for all rules targeting the same flow.

Hi Eugene, to 6 WAN would be:

5,3,0
5,3,1
5,3,2
5,3,3

5,3,5
?
And the marks may be only thats 2? odd and even?
or would be:
wan1 to 5,3,0
wan2 to 5,3,1
wan3 to 5,3,2
and continously?

Thanks and Best Regards!

5,3,0
5,3,1
5,3,2
5,3,3
5,3,4
5,3,5
exactly

Routing marks should be:

wan1 to 5,3,0
wan2 to 5,3,1
wan3 to 5,3,2
...

(assuming you want to load-balance across 6 links, not just 2)
