Multi WAN Different speeds
-
dear all,
i have 4 WANs 3 are 4g routers which got maximum speed almost 2 Mbps and one 10 Mbps DSL conncetion, i gave weight 5 to DSL wan and weight 1 to 4g modems… but still it uses 10 Mbps and one 4g connection and minor use of other connection. i want to utilize the all connection to get the good speed.
i am running pfsense 2.2.5
please guide me.

Create a gateway group. And do load balancing with policy based routing!
You can be working with ratio on each WAN interface. -
thank u blukobold,
yes i have created gateway group and put in gateway in the rule..
how to do ratio base load balancing -
please anybody explain please

I suggest you have a look at
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Multi-WAN#WeightWhich explains what you need to do …. ;)

In the example there 50 Mbit/s and 10 MBit/s where given or shown and the ratio was 5:1 there so in your
case 50:1,2 or 50:1 might be matching well. -
Actually this raises a question. On asymmetric links such as this, do you want to base the ratio calculation on the upstream or the downstream numbers? I could see an argument either way– Either you try to fairly balance outbound traffic requests, or assume that the inbound "reply data" will roughly correlate to the # of requests sent out and thus you should try to balance on the downstream number. Not sure which way is "right" but I lean towards calculating on the upstream, since that's the only thing you can really control anyway.
