Problem with PCC LoadBalancing
Posted: Wed May 01, 2013 1:55 am
Greetings everybody, i’m new user in this mikrotik routerOS, i met a verry persisting problem concerning pcc load balancing, briefly my hardware and software features are :
Hardware
Pc containes INTEL 3Ghz of CPU ,2 GB of RAM, 750 GB of HDD…
Operating System
Mikrotik routerOS v 5.18
Network
-The main internet connexion shared by 45 users in LAN
- 5 wan links with 8 Mbits/s for each ,2 out of 5 are Ethernet links and the 3 others are Wireless ATHEROS AR 9 links coming from modems.
Method used
I used the method of PCC LoadBalancing.
Persisting Problem
I already used this method, everything is well setted and users are well connecting but I have noticed that when I open the WINBOX i find the interfaces never reach the maximum debit expected,as for interface WAN1 with 8 Mbits/s that normally recieves the same as 8 Mbits/s or less a bit, doesn’t seize the maximum of its real debit and it is the same as for the 4 remaining WANS which normally gives the total 40 Mbits/s of transmitted to all users thus this problem affects the users while surfing or dowloading , I have to tell you also that this 40 mbts/s doesn’t even reach 24 Mbits/s, hereby I seek from you a practical solution to this persisting problem which I need to understand whether on the level of hardware that lacks a good physical setting that needed to be changed or is there any trick that I must add to PCC loadbalancing that will allow each interface to seize its maximum debit.
Ex : while downloading a video from youtube using internet download manager, the rate of transffering doesn’t exceed the rate of 3.2 Mo/s using the same previosuly setting already mentioned.
Waiting for your prompt answer
My best regards
