[LARTC] Load Balancing Problems

[LARTC] Load Balancing Problems

[Alan Romaniuc]

Hi,

I have a router that got its second link. I was trying to do load 
balancing, but i can not get it to work properly.

Just one link works at time, and is always the second in the command ip 
route add default table 222 proto static.

Am I missing something? My script is below. I am using Debian, tried 
with kernel 2.6.19 (my compilation) or debian's  one (2.6.18-3-486), 
same results

Thanks


====================================ip rule add prio 50 table main
ip route del default table main

ip rule add prio $PRIO1 from $NET1 table $PRIO1
ip route add default via $IPGW1 dev $INTERFACE1 src $IP1 proto static 
table $PRIO1
ip route append prohibit default table $PRIO1 metric 1 proto static

ip rule add prio $PRIO2 from $NET2 table $PRIO2
ip route add default via $IPGW2 dev $INTERFACE2 src $IP2 proto static 
table $PRIO2
ip route append prohibit default table $PRIO2 metric 1 proto static

ip rule add prio 222 table 222
ip route add default table 222 proto static \

[LARTC] Load Balancing Problems

[Alan Romaniuc]

I am having with loadbalancing. I can get it working never....

I have this scenario:


   INTRANET   --------  (IP0, INTERFACE0) ROUTER (IP1,INTERFACE1) ---- 
NET1 --- (IPGW1) EXTRANET 1
                                            |
                                            |----(IP2,INTERFACE2) ---- 
NET2 --- (IPGW2) EXTRANET 2
                                                                 


I have a Debian box with debian kernel, and I have a my kernel too, ith 
patches from Julian's route patch page.

Here is my scritp... copied from lartc
==
ip route add $NET1 dev $INTERFACE1 src $IP1 table $TABLE1
ip route add default via $IPGW1 table $TABLE1
ip route add $NET2 dev $INTERFACE2 src $IP2 table $TABLE2
ip route add default via $IPGW2 table $TABLE2

ip route add $NET1 dev $INTERFACE1 src $IP1
ip route add $NET2 dev $INTERFACE2 src $IP2

#ip route add default via $IPGW1

ip rule add from $IP1 table $TABLE1
ip rule add from $IP2 table $TABLE2

# MAGIC LINE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ip route add default scope global \
        nexthop via $IPGW1 dev $INTERFACE1 weight $WE1 \
        nexthop via $IPGW2 dev $INTERFACE2 weight $WE2



ip route add $NET0 dev $INTERFACE0 table $TABLE1
ip route add $NET2 dev $INTERFACE2 table $TABLE1
ip route add 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table $TABLE1

ip route add $NET0 dev $INTERFACE0 table $TABLE2
ip route add $NET1 dev $INTERFACE1 table $TABLE2
ip route add 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table $TABLE2


#Extra rule for cable router
if [ "$ROUTER1" ]; then
 ip route add $ROUTER1 dev $INTERFACE1 src $IP1
fi


===

with this script, I am getting always rooted using the second gateway 
from "MAGIC LINE", with am i doing a download (bittorrent for example) 
and redefine the routes (changing the first by the second) I can get a 
full download speedy (link1 + link2 bitrate) and both interface works 
normally. If I stop my torrent, flush the table, and start the download 
again, only the second link will work again, so load balancing never 
works...


here is some more debug information:

Try "your compilation" without CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_CACHED

there are several threads on this topic in the archive, one as reference:
http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20060618.150532.8a6cc07f.en.html

If it solves the problem, maybe is time to contact the author of Multipath 
Cached and send some report.

Hi all,

After setting the CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_CACHED to no and apply 
patches from  http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/#routes , everything is working 
fine. No more problems with the two uplinks and one route only.

Thanks for the help... I've been fighting with that for one week....

I will point this solution in another places too.

Thanks again,

Alan
