Hi, We have several different real internet connections as well as tunnels used for certain purposes. Some have "capped" volume and others not; the ones that do not have different data rates; and all have varying reliability.
I'm having trouble understanding how the weight values work for the options balance= and fallback= on a provider. I saw IP Route documentation suggesting that weights on "nexthop" clauses (which are what get created by the cited options in the providers file), are packet proportions i.e. nexthop via x weight 1 nexthop via y weight 10 would send 10 packets over y for every packet sent over x However, experiments with the option balance= in shorewall providers suggest that a lower number gives a higher priority to a particular provider. Can someone give a clear explanation? Also, I believe providers with option fallback=n are never used unless all of the balance= providers are disabled, is that correct? And then, do the weights work the same way as for balance? Thanks in advance, Norm
