MikroTik Load Balancing and Link Redundancy with PBR
In computer networking, the Load Balancing technique is used to send network traffic over multiple gateways. If you have multiple ISP connections available, you can use load balancing technique to establish a stable network. You may now ask, why will I use multiple ISP connections? What are the benefits to use multiple ISP connections in my network? For your satisfaction, the following points are some reasons to use load balancing technique in your network.
