Can everyone without the right experience read the manual before asking such questions?

example:
nth=Every,Counter,Packet
nth=2,3,0.
2,3,1
2,3,2

divide all packets into groups of three (2+1). The packets will be numbered from 0 to 2. So, a sequence of packets the rule matches looks like:
(0 1 2)(0 1 2)(0 1 2)(0 1 2)(0 1 2)...

the first rule will match the first packet in each group ("Packet"=0). The second rule will match the second packet in each group ("Packet"=1) and so on. Each successful match increments the counter. When a value of "Every" is reached, the counter is reset to 0. For this to work, the "Counter" should be the same for all rules (you can pick any value from 0 to 15, IIRC).

I think there is somethign wrong with this function...
i have two wan now, and nth is 1,1,0 and 1,1,1

So, my 10 session download start with 5 Odd que
and 5 even which is find but after half an hour it all
will switch to even which is (1,1,1)

any reason for this?

and how can I load balance three line with different value?
like I have 1 pair of 2mb line and single 1mb line.

how to LB that ? nth number?

Stupid but it might work? Give it a try.

Divide your packets to groups of 5 instead of 3 ie as if 5 wan Gateways(GW)

set mangle rules with different nth

In the static routes set two entries for each of the 2Mbps and 1 entry for the 1Mbps

leave a gap between the routed packets:

Con 1 ==> GW1
Con 2 ==> GW2
Con 3 ==> GW1
Con 4 ==> GW2
Con 5 ==> GW3

Hope it works, maybe dumb logic. LOL

I want Load balance
I need to use all bandwidth it mean (10*128kb) because my ip downlaod 128 and up 64
even if one client download he can get the whole bandwidth not only 128k
