[LARTC] working patches for load balancing

Hi,

i want to do load balancing of 2 ISP's
Everything is set up OK but one of the ISP's is loaded on 100% while
the other is utilised on 1 - 5%

I've read about Julians patches but they stop at 2.6.14.

Is anybody aware of similar patches for higher patchlevels. 2.6.14 is
not suitable for my setup

Thanks for reading :)

Is CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_CACHED set on your kernel config?

Ok, then may you hit the problem, give a tray to a kernel without 
CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_CACHED.

Two months ago i have the same problem, the multipath cached option was 
EXPERIMENTAL at that time (i think it still is), and it does not work 
properly, and to deactivate it is the cheeper way to make multipath work. 

If you insist whit make CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_CACHED you must remember 
that you need to select one of the cache selection algos, not only build them 
in the kernel, also you need to specify one whit the ip route command, ie(for 
round robin):

ip route add default mpath rr nexthop via....

Thanks luciano,

without CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_CACHED works like a charm.
