MikroTik Unequal Dual WAN Load Balancing with Failover using ECMP
MikroTik Router is capable of doing Load Balancing with Failover over multiple gateways. Policy Based Routing, ECMP, PCC and NTH Load Balancing are the popular load balancing methods in MikroTik Router. Among these methods, ECMP is so easy to configure and provides almost 100% load balancing and link redundancy solution. In my previous article, I discussed how to configure Load Balancing and Link Redundancy using ECMP over two equal bandwidth gateways. ECMP method is also capable of doing load balancing over unequal bandwidth gateway. In this article, I will discuss how to configure load balancing with failover over two unequal bandwidth gateways using ECMP method. ECMP (Equal Cost Multi Path) Routing ECMP stands for Equal-Cost Multi-Path routing. ECMP is persistent per-connection load balancing or per-src-dst-address combination load balancing where a new gateway is chosen for each source and destination IP pair. It means that, for example, one FTP connection will use only one link, but new connection to a different server will use another link. Network Diagram We will configure Dual WAN load balancing over two unequal gateways using ECMP method according to the following diagram. In this network, MikroTik Router’s ether1 port is connected to ISP1 with IP block 192.168.30.0/30 and [...]
