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 [...]

MikroTik PCC Load Balancing over Unequal Dual WAN Links | June 12, 2018
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 [...]

MikroTik Load Balancing with 2 PPPoE and 1 Static WAN using ECMP | September 24, 2019
ECMP provides almost 100% reliable load balancing and link redundancy solution. ECMP is a per connection load balancing where connection is marked with source and destination IP pair. In my previous article I discussed how to configure DUAL WAN load balancing with failover using ECMP method where WAN connections were static IP Addresses. But some ISP companies use PPPoE service for their client connection. So, some network administrators become confused to configure load balancing with PPPoE WAN connection because PPPoE [...]

How to Create Free SSL/TLS Certificate with OpenSSL | July 23, 2021
SSL/TLS certificate is required to encrypt data sent over internet communication. Without encryption, the sent data can be hacked by the middle man attack. SSL/TLS certificate is usually a pair key, public key and private key, solution where data is encrypted with public key and decrypted with private key. In public communication, public key is required to be signed by a CA (certificate authority) but in private communication, there is no need to be signed by any CA. If we [...]
