[LARTC] Suggestion for improvements to nexthop implementation

[LARTC] Suggestion for improvements to nexthop implementation

[Rolf MIssing]

I have a server connected :

	eth2	ADSL 500kbps	ISP 1
	eth1	Cable 1000kbps	ISP 2
	eth0	LAN 100Mbps

I am using :

	ip route add default nexthop via 192.168.1.1 dev eth1 weight 2 \
	nexthop via 192.168.2.1 dev eth2 weight 1

and a collection of other settings and routes that are not important
to document for this suggestion.

I would like to assign real bandwidth figures to eth1,2 and have the
Kernel decide what interface to route traffic to depending on the
statistical load on the interface.

Is this a existing feature, how do I set it up ? if not could somebody
who is smarter than me code it ?

We have cheap broad band and several friends have the same
config I have the only trick is to get them combined with a reasonable
load sharing logic.

Great stuff this Linux networking

I would like to see how this is also accomplished with the 2.2.x kernels.  Thanks.
