[pfSense Support] Questions about Load Balancing
Greetings, I have a Squid PROXY server that I want to use two DSL connections that I have with. However, one of them is a 1 megabit connection and the other is a 512kbps connections. Based on what I have read on the list, I am concerned that the load balancing algorithm will NOT distribute 2/3 and 1/3 of the combined 1.5mbps for the outgoing traffic over the two connections respectively. Am I incorrect in this? Will it maximize each connection if they are of difference capacities? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Scott, is there a solution to this? Am I unique in that I have multiple WAN connections of different capacities? Anyone have another solution?

Title: Re: [pfSense Support] Questions about Load Balancing Hi Wesley, I have one box with 3 WAN using load balancing. WAN ADSL 2MB WAN1 FR 1MB WAN2 FR 512K We even dont have this issue now. But we had hard time with ftp-helper, I cant connect with any site. I have issues with HTTPS and policy routing for outgoing connection forced via the WAN (default) interface solved it. Also I could not have policy routing working for incoming connections using WAN1 or WAN2. my current version is 0.85.6 Any tip?

Re: [pfSense Support] Questions about Load Balancing
Not unique, we just don't have an easy way to implement ratio based load balancing at this time. BTW, it'd be connection based anyway, not true bandwidth balancing. I'd recommend putting some clients on one connection, some on the other and manually balance the links using rules. --Bill On 9/29/05, Wesley K.

Re: [pfSense Support] Questions about Load Balancing
Or another suggestion, something that I would do here if my second connection wasn't 10x faster than the primary is to say send gaming out one link and send browsing out the other. :) --Bill On 9/29/05, Bill Marquette <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Not unique, we just don't have an easy way to implement ratio based > load balancing at this time.

RE: [pfSense Support] Questions about Load Balancing
Hey Moacry, do you notice if it appropriately distributes the load? I just had a thoughti, if I set the bandwith on the interface to the actual broadband service rate as oppposed to NIC connection speed, would that affect the load balancing?

Re: [pfSense Support] Questions about Load Balancing
Hello, I am going to try Pfsense next week, it sure will be a great product. Very nice work! I have been looking for something like this for a LONG time! You might see what Cyberoam is using, to get some ideas maybe. www.cyberoam.com. The software, not the CR series. It is based on Linux or a UNIX, but very expensive! It looks great, but have not tried it yet, waiting for pfsense to leave alfa! But will try it on 190 machines in my network.Yes, I know it is ALPHA!
