Eigrp between them. The bandwidths are very close to each other (704K and 768K) so Eigrp Unequal cost load balancing doesn't really help me because the traffic share count is usually 1 to 1. I could get around this by altering the delay of one of the links and then maybe have a trafic share count of 2 to 1. I've tried per packet load balancing but because of the varying latencies in each link, that doesn't work out too well for me. What I would like to do is have a way of preferring the faster (less latency) link until the bandwidth reaches a certain point, then allowing the slower (greater latency) link to kick in. The reason being is that sometimes 1 user will download a huge file which will consume the entire bandwidth of 1 one link. Other users will try to connect and because of typical per session or per destination load balancing, they will attempt to also use the congested link. I would like to avoid this. I want a way to set a threshold for a particular link by % utilization, then put that link on hold until the % util drops below a certain point. If anyone sees what I mean here and has a solution, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank You | |||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options  fair queueing (WFQ) is not doing its thing. Could be because WFQ has been disabled (or something about the configuration disables it by default), or you may need to add traffic shaping on the links to give WFQ a chance to kick in before the link is totally clogged.
