Dual PPPOE load balance question

[bubobih]

Hi all i have 2 internet 2 wan 10/1

i want to make dual wan load balance and i did as is writed on wiki, i make gateway group and set both to


TIER 1
member down

and Pool Options: round robin because default seems (at least at graphs to load only 1 pppoe)

but yet on speedtest i get 14/1.3  and i shoud get 20/2 if he can test both connections together. also i see in graphs that both net are used but it feel still slow and even for example iptv stucking and buffering. maybe there is no better way for this but i want to ask a community members maybe someone know some better tips or tricks for this.

reminder: both pppoe are fiber and they are extractly 10/1 all te time (tested 1 by 1)

Putting two 10/1 connections on one tier will *not* create one single connection out of both. They are still completely separate. The router/firewall just distributes connections across both. It's no aggregations, this would need some support on the remote side to enable such feature.

I would not expect a full 20/2 in this scenario.

You can pull one WAN down and check the speed again, then repeat with the other WAN down.

But don't forget that PPPoE has an absurdly high overhead which will significantly increase the system load. So depending on the used hardware, the system might as well reach some bottlenecks.

Regarding your IPTV, it's normally never using both connections at the same time and is only routed via one WAN (because the packets cannot be combined without the previous mentioned aggregation support on the ISP side).
