There are two kinds of multipath routing in the kernel (which are differently implemented in the kernel and do different things): - default route failover. You configured it. It doesn't do any load balancing, but when your default route stops working it'll eventually try the other one. You configured that. - real multipath routing. It is configured by setting multiple nexthops to a single route (ip route add ... nexthop ... ) The kernel will do load balancing by route (=srcip/dstip/tos tripple) -Andi |
