Explore load balancing on MikroTik RouterOS, comparing version 6 and version 7, with PCC and policy based routing (PBR) techniques and new lessons for v7 configurations.
Connect a MikroTik router to two internet service providers to enable load balancing and shared internet across your network, using two links for higher throughput and failover.
Learn how to connect a MikroTik router to two ISPs, share internet internally, and configure DHCP and masquerade NAT to enable load balancing in RouterOS v6 and v7.
Discover the basics of ECMP (equal-cost multi-path) for load balancing on MikroTik RouterOS, learn easy configuration steps, and identify common problems while enabling two paths for higher bandwidth.
Configure ECMP load balancing across two equal-cost gateways using round-robin per-connection distribution, managing forwarding tables, DNS considerations, and routing-table flush caveats.
Configure ECMP and PBR to ensure inbound connections from ISP1 or ISP2 are answered via the same ISP, using mangle marks and routing tables.
Explore policy based routing (PBR) for load balancing on MikroTik, comparing IP route rules and firewall rules to choose the best approach for effective failover.
Learn policy-based routing for load balancing with IP route rules on MikroTik RouterOS v6 and v7, using two ISPs and routing marks to split traffic.
Learn policy-based routing with MikroTik firewall mangler rules to steer Clash of Clans traffic on port 9339 to ISP two while other traffic uses ISP one.
Introduction to the AH load balancing method: how AH works and how to configure it in MikroTik. Compare AH with PBR and BBR, noting edge considerations.
Understand nth load balancing on MikroTik RouterOS using AH, with every and bucket grouping to distribute traffic across two ISPs and route based on bucket selection.
Learn how MikroTik's per connection classifier (PCC) provides efficient load balancing across two ISPs, compare it with firewall rules, and follow a hands-on lab to configure PCC correctly.
Configure per connection classifier (PCC) on MikroTik RouterOS v6/v7 to enable load balancing and failover across two ISPs using a 32-bit hash of selected IP header fields.
Learn policy based routing on MikroTik RouterOS v7 to route clash of clans traffic via ISP two while other traffic uses ISP one, using address lists, pre-routing, and fib tables.
Learn how to configure PCC load balancing on MikroTik RouterOS v7 to split traffic across two ISP links, using routing marks, mangle rules, and dual routing tables with failover.
MikroTik official trainings with Maher Haddad help you become a MikroTik certified engineer through hands-on labs, exams, and flexible options including in-person Netherlands sessions and live online courses.
Explore the bonus lecture, recapping how to configure load balancing on MikroTik RouterOS v6 and v7 using several methods. Choose the method that best fits your setup.
If you have 2 or more ISP's then you can implement load balancing using MikroTik Routers to use both ISP's for your internet service.
However, load balancing in case not correctly configured can cause a lot of problems on your network. For this reason, I have designed this course to show you step-by-step how to configure load balancing using different methods so you can at the end decide which method would work best for you and you can apply it on your network.
The load balancing methods that I am going to discuss in this course are:
ECMP
PBR (Routing rules and Mangle Rules)
NTH
PCC
Understanding load balancing is very crucial nowadays because most of companies have 2 or more ISP's , paying the bill for the internet and not using all the ISPs services.
By end of this course, you will have a big understand about our to deploy load balancing correctly on MikroTik router and you will be able to apply the learned method(s) in your production network.
If you want to master the topic of load balancing on MikroTik, all you need to do is to register in my course and I will help you to understand the topic in a very simple teaching way.
I look forward to see you in the course.
