Re: Help with Load Balancing

You cannot do a Magic way of what you want but as Andrew stated you can
LB between two links.
What is the scenario you do have in hands??
iproute is a route level policy\rules.
If you would have a smarter system it would probably taken a snapshot of
the each uplink every specific interval and calculate the global usage
of the link balancing and would mark more connections based on the least
loaded connection.
>From the admin perspective it could be something like "dont route using
uplink1 but use uplink2".
The above algorithm is pretty simple if you have uplink1 and uplink2
which you are not afraid both of them to be down.
Once you have the obstacle of "I'm afraid that the link will go down"
you can play with whatever routing you want since the user will not feel
it in most cases.
