Subject: [LARTC] Latest techniques for multiple PPP load-balancing
Date: Sun, 19 Jan 2003 01:32:15 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-lartc-104294009631701@msgid-missing> (raw)

Hey,

I've been scouring the web these past few days trying to find a suitable
technique to load balance my network. Unfortunately I think my setup is
very uncommon, so I'm looking to you guys to see if you can help.

I currently have 2 ADSL modems, provided by the same ISP and terminating
on the same gateway (I think having the same gateway is what is causing
the problems, since the nexthop is always the same for each interface).
I've tried using equal cost multipath (using ip route to set two
nexthops with equal weights).  Problem is I believe this uses route
lookups to determine which interface to use, and thus for sending data
to common destinations it only ever uses 1 interface.

Does anyone know if its even possible to send packets over each
interface "equally"?  I read somewhere that you might be able to clear
the route cache after every packet, but I've only seen people talk about
it and don't know if its true.

Can anyone help?

I'm running 2.4.20 on Debian (woody), with both ADSL modems using PPPoA
and with most of the QoS and network queuing modules installed.  AFAIK,
my provider doesn't support multilink.

Thanks,
Andy.
