Now Configure DNS server so users can resolve hostnames,

1	/ip dns set allow-remote-requests=yes cache-max-ttl=1w cache-size=5000KiB max-udp-packet-size=512 servers=221.132.112.8,8.8.8.8

All Done ! Now Test the link by putting user load, the more multiple users load you put on it, the better Load Balance result you will get :)

PCC WITH UN-EQUAL WAN LINKS

If you have Un-Equal WAN Links, for example WAN,1,2,3 are of 4MB and WAN,4 is of 8 Mb, and you want to force MT to use WAN4 link more then other because of its capacity, Then you have to Add more PCC rules assigning the same two marks to a specific link i.e WAN4 , something like

Code:

1 2 3 4 5

add chain=prerouting dst-address-type=!local in-interface=Local per-connection-classifier=both-addresses-and-ports:4/0 action=mark-connection new-connection-mark=WAN1_conn passthrough=yes add chain=prerouting dst-address-type=!local in-interface=Local per-connection-classifier=both-addresses-and-ports:4/1 action=mark-connection new-connection-mark=WAN2_conn passthrough=yes add chain=prerouting dst-address-type=!local in-interface=Local per-connection-classifier=both-addresses-and-ports:4/2 action=mark-connection new-connection-mark=WAN3_conn passthrough=yes add chain=prerouting dst-address-type=!local in-interface=Local per-connection-classifier=both-addresses-and-ports:4/3 action=mark-connection new-connection-mark=WAN4_conn passthrough=yes add chain=prerouting dst-address-type=!local in-interface=Local per-connection-classifier=both-addresses-and-ports:4/4 action=mark-connection new-connection-mark=WAN4_conn passthrough=yes

PCC WITH SAME GATEWAY

Try defining the outbound interface.
For example replace this.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

/ip route  add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=1.2.3.4 routing-mark=to_wan-ISP1 check-gateway=ping  add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=1.2.3.4 routing-mark=to_wan-ISP2 check-gateway=ping   With following   /ip route  add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=1.2.3.4%eth1-ISP routing-mark=to_wan-ISP1 check-gateway=ping  add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=1.2.3.4%eth2-ISP routing-mark=to_wan-ISP2 check-gateway=ping
