Load balancing with ADSL lines ( UPLOADS )

tgajoswp.pl · Mar 1, 2009, 8:19 AM

I wonder how to configure my load balancer to use all available bandwith for uploads and downloads.
WAN1: 2500/512
WAN2: 2000/256

You can either:
maximize download
maximize upload.

To maximize download:
Add the gateway of the WAN1 5times and the gateway of WAN2 4times to the loadbalancer.
Like this you have a ration of 2500:2000 (5:4)

To maximize upload:
Add the gateway of the WAN1 2times and the gateway of WAN2 1times to the loadbalancer.
Like this you have a ration of 512:256 (2:1).

You could also have both and define an IPrange which is optimized for upload and/or an IPrange which is optimized for download and you just change accordingly to what you currently need your IP on the client.
(yes, ugly hack)

Can I see a screen shot of how you have this setup?
