Can anybody help? Greetings Markus ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: iproute weight balacing problem with youtube Date: Monday 27 October 2008 From: Markus Frahm To: shemminger@osdl.org, lartc@mailman.ds9a.nl Dear Stephen Hemminger, we have found a problem with ip route and multiple internet connections using the ip route 'weight' option to balance the traffic of a NAT firewall between several lines. Internet sites like 'youtube' show videos only with 50% probability because youtube and similar sites demand several connections (for the web site and the flash stream) to come from the same source IP. Is there a simple solution for this problem for example to increase the time in the balancing algorithm or a cache for source IPs?
