MikroTik PCC Load Balancing over Unequal Dual WAN Links
Hi, you are here means you are finding a Load Balancing and Link Redundancy solution with Unequal WAN links in your MikroTik Router. If so, it is your right place. In my previous article I discussed how to configure a Dual WAN Load Balancing and Link Redundancy network using PCC method but it was assumed that both WAN links have equal bandwidth. But in real situation, you may have unequal WAN links such as ISP1 may have 10MB bandwidth and ISP2 may have 20MB bandwidth. In this case, PCC Load Balancing and Link Redundancy configuration will be a little bit different. So, in this article I will show how to configure Load Balancing and Link Redundancy network using PCC method which will have unequal Dual WAN connections. Core Devices and IP Information To configure a load balancing with failover network, I am using MikroTik RouterOS v6.38.1 that has two ISP connections and a LAN network. IP information that I am using for this network configuration are given below. ISP1 IP 192.168.30.2/30 and Gateway IP 192.168.30.1 ISP2 IP 192.168.60.2/30 and Gateway IP 192.168.60.1 LAN network: 10.10.70.0/24 and LAN Gateway IP 10.10.70.1/24 DNS IP: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 This IP information is just [...]
