Hi
Everybody in the list
I have a situation like this
------ (IP1)
linux |----eth0.40------ |
router | | |
box | (IP2) |------|Client Router ( Destiantion Net DNET)
|----eth0.41------ | | /27 subnet
------
I just want to balance the load of bandwidth per packet based between the
two vlan interfaces to Client Destination network
What i have done is :
//////////
bash#/sbin/ip route add equalize $DNET scope global nexthop via
$IP1 dev eth0.40 weight 1 nexthop via $IP2 dev eth0.41
weight 1
/////////
bash#ip route show $DNET
$DNET equalize
nexthop via $IP1 dev eth0.40 weight 1
nexthop via $IP2 dev eth0.41 weight 1
But the traffic towards the $DNET does not seem equalized at all
It goes out allways to the same interface
Is this a problem of route caching or the equalize patch needs to be
applied to 2.6.17 kernel , or then I am missing something ???
Thanks a lot

I used vanilla 2.4 and didn''t need equalize patch. Are you sure equalize patch is needed for 2.4?> -- > LucianoBests, Tomasz Chilinski.
