From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Christoph Simon Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2001 14:46:10 +0000 Subject: [LARTC] More Loadbalancing problems Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: lartc@vger.kernel.org I have two DSL links on a linux with three network cards, and would like to use both at the same time. Following this list I though this should work: - compile a kernel with equalcost-multipath enabled - I've set up two host routes to the IP and the gateway of each DSL, so I can test wether the gateway is alive even if it doesn't have a default route. - setup the default gateway: ip route add default nexthop via IP-gw-DSL-1 dev eth0 \ nexthop via IP-gw-DSL-2 dev eth2 With this, I can ping out of the box, but I couldn't visit a single webpage; all timed out (configuring just one of the two does work however). Then I modified the default route to: ip route add default nexthop via IP-gw-DSL-1 dev eth0 weight 2\ nexthop via IP-gw-DSL-2 dev eth2 weight 1 Now it does work, but on eth2 I can observe only an increment in outgoing packets, although there was not a really heavy load on the line. I also noticed, that I'm able to access the machine from outside on eth0 but not on eth2. I've not installed any firewall rules yet. I remember to have read in this list that using the option equalize would switch the devices not session but packet dependently, so I didn't use it.
