Troubleshotting the load balancer
Posted: Tue Feb 09, 2016 10:00 pm
Hi guys, can you give me a advice?
I have a RB750r2 (RouterOS 6.2 if I'm not wrong, will check tomorrow, together with any information you need). This RB is used as a load balancer using PCC, for 4 "wan" links. They are links for 120/4, 60/3, 60/3 and 10/10 (Down and Up respectively, all values in Mbps). I will call then W1 trought W4 from now.
The objective is to provide internet connection for about 70-100 users at a medium sized office.
Now, whenever I do a Speedtest at the "Wan's" from any machine, every link except the W1 gives full throughtput. When I connect directly to the W1 Router from ISP, I get the full speed, but not behind the RB. When I check TX/RX from WinBox, I see that I get a max of 10/2 from this link if I have some people using this connection, or about 2/2 when I use it alone.
How can I troubleshoot what is happening? I don't see any bottleneck on CPU or Memory. Currently the PCC rules are marking connections to not use this link, but when everyone is at office, we have problems.
Speed limits are currently not set. The better scenario is to have only a minimum of 2 / 0.25, but I need to leave this elastic for some specific uses.
We currently do not have availability for a ISP that offers a more fair upload link.
