MikroTik - Load Balancing / Mangle deep dive

[@amgahm2011]

many thanks this the best presentation for load balance

[@israman77]

Excellent presentation, I just configured my network to use this load balance method and its working great. I just have a curiosity, and I'm not sure how to implement this in an scenario with 3 or more lines to balance, is it possible?

[@alucard77719]

Great presentation. I did follow your setup and tested it on a lab environment. I've noticed that the mangle rules for new-routing-mark don't change between ISP1_Route or ISP2_Route. Is that happening in the background? the logs show it is switching.

How many WANs can load balance the RB2011UiAS-RM ? thank you

[@benjihart]

Hi, excellent presentation.. thank you for posting! Is it possible to use this same approach but with dynamic DHCP client assigned ip addresses on both WAN/ISP interfaces?

[@junnel2608]

i think so. youll have to make a script to update the settings and trigger it when you get new ip

[@rollybacanto1542]

@Tomas Kirnak, this presentation is outstanding and i see a possible useful scenarios for it. Just a question this presentation if I follow it as is in a solely Hotspot with usermanager as radius will it work or do i need to modify somethings first? and if i do need to modify can you please at least lend a hand to point it exactly what items of mangle or route rules are needed.

[@rollybacanto1542]

This is an update. I have followed your instruction and presentation here also from pdf. Why do i experience some disconnection and when browsing there is an intermittent connection and displaying "no internet connection" in browser?

[@junnel2608]

any update? im gonna try to use this

[@xianoggaming7510]

the script wont work and does not switch

nice work bro i have a question i have load balace 4 line i want to make line 4 just for whatsapp traffic .is it work ? plz if u know my best regards

[@TomasKirnak]

You will need to classify and separate the WhatsApp traffic into a separate connection mark. (every WhatsApp connection should be marked with that connection mark) After that, you will be able to route the traffic with that connection mark into the routing table specific for that WAN line.

[@eejaymarz5960]

can i apply this rule to separate gaming and browsing?

[@TomasKirnak]

Sure, if you can separate the traffic into different connection marks, you can then force those into different routing tables. In effect, you will then separate browsing and any other traffic, and can manipulate its routing as you wish.

[@nikolashuminosky6987]

Has anyone have been tested the script?

[@rollybacanto1542]

I have tried it here in my setup, Im using DSL (main) and LTE (backup) everything seems working fine but I experience some intermittent connection and displaying "no internet connection" in browser

[@tomislavfedek6678]

Is this outdated?

[@TomasKirnak]

Everything still up to date, except I would recommend using recursive route lookup for failover instead of the script. You can find more about recursive route lookup on the MikroTik wiki.

[@tomislavfedek6678]

@@TomasKirnak can you make some video for this kind of failover?

[@ailyntimosa3932]

Yup a follow up recursive short video is appreciated.

@@TomasKirnak I agree, this would be very helpful to see.
