RR for route

RR for route

[Jan Engelhardt]

Hello,


does anybody know of a way to round-robin over multiple default gateways with 
the same metric? Currently, it looks like it's always the first GW which is 
taken.

Hi,

this not round robin but the traffic is spread over more GW's

config IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH
        bool "IP: equal cost multipath"
        depends on IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
        help
          Normally, the routing tables specify a single action to be taken in
          a deterministic manner for a given packet. If you say Y here
          however, it becomes possible to attach several actions to a packet
          pattern, in effect specifying several alternative paths to travel
          for those packets. The router considers all these paths to be of
          equal "cost" and chooses one of them in a non-deterministic fashion
          if a matching packet arrives.

If everyone used log base e, we'd all be happy!
