Load Balancing with per-packet
-
Hello,
Our ISP have enabled bonding on our two PPPoE lines. We've been able to get downstream bonding with the lines by using gateway groups. This works great without any problems, both lines are utilised in the download, but not the upload. Our ISP do not use MLPPP, but instead use a 'Firebrick' to do round robin packet distribution across the two lines.
Is there any way I can setup the pfSense box on this end to also round-robin route the packets between the lines? This needs to be per packet, not per connection as we currently have.

MLPPP is the only way to accomplish per-packet balancing/bonding in the way you describe.
Even LACP is per-flow (hashed MAC to MAC) so it doesn't go per-packet either.

Hello,
Even on pfsense 3.0 ?
" Third, the core of pfSense (pf, packet forwarding, shaping, link bonding/sharing, IPsec, etc) will be re-written using Intel’s DPDK. " ( https://blog.pfsense.org/?p=1588 )

It is not yet possible to answer that question. 3.0 is still in planning and early development and does not exist yet, and its features are not fully defined.

Hello,
Could you please add Multipath TCP (MPTCP) feature on 2.4.0 version?
