I am setting up a router using openwrt. Part of the project is load balancing among 2 broadband lines. I made use of the line: ip route add default scope global \ nexthop {GW1} dev {IF1} weight 1 \ nexthop {GW2} dev {IF2} weight 1 somewhere on the configs. On the test phase, automatically switching (routing) to line GW2 when line GW1 is suddenly disconnected takes a long time. I'm thinking that the routing still tries to send to GW1 even though it's dead. a. Is there a way around this? b. Does routing react differently to carrier loss (unplugging the cable) to a fully loaded line? Any thoughts?
