MultiWAN with same gateway, sticky connections drops almost 50% of traffic
-
In a multiwan setup (load balancing), with pppoe and same gateway, enabling sticky connections causes some (50%+) of the connections to be droped.
When sticky enabled if you open a web page, some loads and some don't.
I've tested sticky in 2.0 betas, 2.0 final and now in a 2.0.1 clean installation, never worked for me.
Any advice how to troubleshoot this? Are sticky connections working fine for anyone with multiwan with same gateway in the wans?
-
Not sure for PPPoE but as far as I know MuliWAN never works as long as all links use the same gateway.
Sticky connections has nothing to do with that. -
iirc PPPoE is a special case, where having the same gateway on more than one links works (for pfsense v2.0.1+).
-
Setup works fine with same gateway with sticky disabled, enabling sticky is causing the problems with dropped connections.
-
Sticky with multiple PPPoE with the same gateway isn't going to work correctly.
