Hey guys and girls,
I work in a company that does networks at events as a side business. Some of these events are quite big. Most of the venues where these events happen don't have fiber connections to the site. So most of the time were are stuck with temporary cable/DSL connections. Cable connections being 500/50 Mbps and DSL connections 30/6 - 100/15 Mbps. In some cases we are even stuck with 4G LTE modems, these have very unreliable speeds.
Where we can get one connection we can get multiple.
Now I have been given the task to find a good way to load balance two or three WAN connections as sometimes we need higher download or upload speeds than we can get from one line.
The routers we use are Mikrotik, which I like for routing, DHCP and the likes but not for load balancing.
I'm looking for a device that can load balance 3 WAN connections in multiple ways (round robin, one line is full ->use second,....).
So far I have found that PFsense does this quite well. This would mean we could do it quite cheap with a NUC that multiple ethernet ports. Kemp also does this at a decent price. But I would like your input. What load balancers do you like. Note that we need a device, this can be 19" as our routers and switches are installed in portable 19" flight cases.
PS. Sorry for grammatical errors, English is not my first language
