similar to: Split access, load balancing AND forwarding: HOW?

Hi, I''ve been implementing a load balancing solution using CONNMARK, based on solution described by Luciano Ruete at [1]. Gracias por el post y por apuntar en la dirección correcta Luciano! Once implemented, I''ve found that due to some reason packets aren''t properly marked (or improperly remarked) and sent out using the wrong interface. My topo setup is:

Hi, I have searched the archives on the topic, and it seems that the list gurus favor load balancing to be done in the kernel as opposed to other means. I have been using a home-grown approach, which splits traffic based on `-m statistic --mode random --probability X`, then CONNMARKs the individual connections and the kernel happily routes them. I understand that for > 2 links it will become

# iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -m mark --mark ! 0 -j ACCEPT iptables v1.3.3: Bad MARK value `!'' I''m puzzled, what''s wrong with this syntax? kernel is 2.6.15.7-ubuntu1 Thanks Francesco

Ok ive been trying to get this to work for about half a year now. Ive searched all over the internet for a solution for my problem. Ive found some solutions, but they only led me to yet more problems. What we want to do is the following: I live in a student complex with 7 other people. Every room has its own internet connection from the same ISP. Ip, gateway, subnet are asigned through dhcp on

Hi, I have a linux box which balances load between two interfaces ( say WAN1 and WAN2). I have masquerading on for any request coming from LAN to the outside world. The setup is in such a way that WAN1 drops packets with source ip belonging to WAN2''s network and viceversa. For some strange reason, I find that packet coming out from the WAN interface has source address of WAN2 and

Hello everybody. i have the folowing problem: i have this in the top of PREROUTING chain in mangle table iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -j CONNMARK --set-mark 0 # rule 1 iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -m connmark --mark 5 # rule 2 iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -m connmark --mark 6 # rule 3 i think when packet is passing trough my POSTROUTING in mangle table

Hi all, I am running Slackware 10.1 with Kernel 2.6.14.3 includes iptables 1.3.4 with layer 7 My network diagram below: - INTERNET --- LINUX_ROUTER_FW --- PCs Below is my simple iptables script: - echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -m layer7 --l7proto applejuice -j MARK --set-mark 1 iptables -t

Hi, I''m having issues with policing my incoming traffic by matching packet marks made by iptables. I''ve checked as many sites and guides as I can find, and I seem to be doing the exact same thing as they all are, but there''s still no success. As such, I was wondering if anyone can have a quick look to see if I''ve done anything obviously stupid? Essentially, I

I am trying to get IPP2P working on my router. Thus far I can see connections being marked (see below), but they don''t seem to get saved or something. When looking at /proc/net/ip_conntrack, nothing has anything other than 0 for mark. The iptables commands for this are: iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -j CONNMARK --restore-mark iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -m mark ! --mark 0 -j

Hello! I''ve put some questions on this list some weeks ago and I''ve got good answers. Thank you! Now I''ve finished my (beautyful) script and I ran it on my router... About my script: It routes packages based on their destination on the Internet. I have about 1650 preffered destination networks listed in some file. The script read this file and marks every package for

Hi, I have a suspicious problem with multiple uplinks configuration. First of all my configuration: 1) kernel 2.6.20.3 2) iptables 1.3.7 3) last iproute (for masked marks) All wan interfaces are bridged (stp disabled) in only one interface (wan0), all lan interfaces are bridged (stp enabled) in only one interface (zlan0). The wan0 bridge is to allow UPnP works. To allow related

Hello, its me again, I won''t stop sending emails to this list, until I solve this problem, I''ve tried several apps to create the right htb rules (even made them my self), but I always get the same results, traffic gets shaped, but I can''t use my bandwidth, and this is weird, because I should be able to, also I keep seeing download being limited too, and that

I have to match my packets based on MAC address, which I cannot do in the POSTROUTING chain, so I do it in PREROUTING using MARK. Then, I match on the MARK in the POSTROUTING chain to do a CLASSIFY. But this does not seem to work: wireless-r1 bwlimit # iptables -L -v -n -t mangle Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT 3353K packets, 941M bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source

What''s wrong... I have Celeron 633MHz nd 768Mb RAM. When I''m running my script everything is OK, but when I''m connecting Internet and LAN link computer is hanging. But when i dissconnect this everything is OK. I have 500 users, 1500 classes and 3000 filters. Is it normal? What should I do?

Hello, I''ve been trying to shape the bittorrent traffic (on my external interface, upload), but without luck, for this I''m using layer7 filter right now, but I''ve also tried ipp2p, with the same results, I might say that this is not a problem with this packet classifiers, the problem is with HTB, here''s why. When I open azureus (the bittorrent client I

Can someone verify that using fw as a filter in iproute2-2.6.11-050330 is broken. Doesn''t seem to work in any case and I saw an earlier post that would lead me to believe this is the case. If so does anyone have a temporary fix? Thanks, Troy

Hi Here is a short description of my network: ppp0 (adsl) ppp1 (adsl) | | | | --------------------- | Router | | Firewall | | MASQUERAD | | DNAT | | | | eth0 | --------------------- | | | ---------------------- |

Hello, I have finished setting up the load balancer with IPROUTE ... also patch the kernel to support DGD and now it''s working fine with the valuable guide at LARTC website, Julian Anastasov, and the kind people in this mailing list. Now I would like to launch a web server and a ftp server to the public but I''m stuck into a problem and really need your help. Currently internal

Hi There, I am also trying to do the same for my network. I have two links from different ISPs and I want to configure a failover and load balancing Linux router. I am facing same problem here, that how to detect link failure and let Linux box switch the gateway. I know it works when the first gateway is physically down and not reachable. But what to do if my link is up but there is problem

Hi all! After that good thread "DGD patch not detecting dead gateway" I was able to set up a Load Balancing with ping based DGD (without Julian Anastasov patch). But now I''m facing a new problem and tried some options, with only partial solutions. I made a script based on http://www.mail-archive.com/lartc@mailman.ds9a.nl/msg16257.html (Thank you Manish Kathuria),
