iproute2: equalize with more than 2 lines - possible?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I have the following situation:

6 ADSL-lines to one ISP. Each line has its own ADSL router (but I cannot
access it, it belongs to the ISP).
All 6 Lines are connected via a switch to a Linux box with 3
Ethernet-cards (2 for ADSL, 1 for internal network).
The Linux-Box has Kernel 2.2.17 with patch for equalize applied. default
gateway looks like this:

default equalize
	nexthop via <ADSL-Gateway1> dev eth1 weight 1
	nexthop via <ADSL-Gateway2> dev eth1 weight 1
	nexthop via <ADSL-Gateway3> dev eth2 weight 1
	...

If I add only 2 gateways, all works fine. But if I add 3 or more
gateways (doesn't matter if they are on the same ethernet card or not of
if they have different weights or not) nothing works... :(

Possible problem 1: iproute2 can only handle 2 lines for equalize

Possible problem 2: because all lines are connected to the same ISP,
they are all 'equal' in speed and the routing process can not determine
the fastest route...

Does anyone know any solution?
