Sample Configurations

Example configurations for failover and balancer are available from the OpenWRT site

Load Balancer Weights

You can add any number of servers to a server load balancing action. You can also add a weight to each server to make sure that your most powerful servers are given the heaviest load.

The weight refers to the proportion of load that the XTM device sends to a server. By default, each server has a weight of 1.

If you assign a weight of 2 to a server, you double the number of sessions that the XTM device sends to that server, compared to a server with a weight of 1.

Load Balancing Interfaces

If an interface is not specified for some particular traffic - and metric and weight are the same - the default behavior is to use both interfaces, which is the Linux default load sharing mechanism.

Interface Selection

When selecting which interface weights you need to take into account how the operator handles traffic. For example, usually a fiber or DSL WAN connection should have higher weight than a mobile connection.

Health Monitor Ping / Statistics

-Health Monitor Method Ping / Statistics. Ping I understand. What kind of statistics are used? Where can one configure statistcs limits? E.g if you monitor like wan stats when does the box determine that interface has failed ? No stats at all at some interval? Some stats in some interval but it doesn’t trigger wan failover because…..?

Ping and Statistics are health monitor methods.

Statistics checks the rx bytes value with the Health Monitor Interval, and if the value has not changed it marks the link as unhealthy.

Failover Traffic Destination

Failover is used when the original link is not available. It is needed both when using a specified interface or when using a balancing mechanism.

When selecting the Failover Traffic Destination, you can choose between Load Balancer, Fast Balancer or using a specific interface. Fast balancer uses netfilter iptables and load balancer uses iproute2.

Glossary

The Available Bit Rate (ABR) service type is used primarily for traffic that is not time sensitive and don't need service level guarantees.

An access point is a device or interface that connects users to other users within the network. I can also serve as the point of interconnection between the WLAN and a fixed wire network.

The number of required access points depends on the number of network users and the area the network covers.

An Access Control List (ACL) is an table containing permissions for a particular service or device, defining access to objects and allowed operations.

An Auto Configuration Servers (ACS) is a server used for automatic device and user provisioning and configuration through TR069.

In case of congestion, traffic that exceeds the rate have a higher probability of being dropped.

The four AF classes have the same priority. For each class, packets are given a drop probability.

Drop probability Class 1 Class 2 Class 3 Class 4
Low AF11 AF21 AF31 AF41
Medium AF12 AF22 AF32 AF42
High AF13 AF23 AF33 AF43

ATF feature addresses the issue where low-speed data transfers impact high-speed data transfers.

Airtime Fairness gives equal amounts of air time (instead of equal number of frames) to each client regardless of its theoretical data rate. This will ensure higher download speed to latest devices when slower devices are connected to the same AP. This is done to prevent slower devices from penalizing faster devices by monopolizing network traffic.

In effect this means that Airtime Fairness improves the speed for faster devices by making the slowest devices even slower. This may allow better Quality of Service for faster devices, and should be negligible for the slower devices in most cases.

Using band steering in combination of Airtime Fairness can further improve results.

The Bit Error Rate (BER) is the percentage of transmitted bits which contain errors.

Bitswap is a methoid for adjusting the number of bits allocated to channels. Congested channels are assigned fewer bits, and available channels are allocated more bits.

The bit rate is a measure of traffic speed in a network. It indicates the number of bits per second transmitted.

The basic service set (BSS) is the basic building block in a wireless LAN. It is a set of all stations that can communicate with each other. Every BSS has an identification (ID) called the BSSID, which is the MAC address of the access point servicing the BSS.

CHAP uses a randomly generated string as a unique challege phrase for each authentication. This is combined with device host names and hash functions so that no static secret information is sent.

A checksum is a value used as an error control mechanism. It works by calculating a sum for the data using a predefined algorithm, and then comparing the result to some expected value, or the checksum itself. If the result is not as expected, this indicates that something has gone wrong in transmission.

Bits Name Description
4 VERS  IP version number 0100 (4) or 0110 (6).
4 HLEN  Header length in 32-bit words, so if the number is 6, then 6 x 32 bit words are in the header i.e. 24 bytes. The maximum size is 15 x 32-bit words which is 60 bytes. The minimum size is 20 bytes or 5 x 32-bit words.
8 Type of Service The TOS field.
16 Total Length  is the number of octets that the IP datagram takes up including the header. The maximum size that an IP datagram can be is 65,535 octets.
16 Identification  The Identification is a unique number assigned to a datagram fragment to help in the reassembly of fragmented datagrams.
3 Flags  Bit 0 is always 0 and is reserved. Bit 1 indicates whether a datagram can be fragmented (0) or not (1). Bit 2 indicates to the receiving unit whether the fragment is the last one in the datagram (1) or if there are still more fragments to come (0).
13 Frag Offset  in units of 8 octets (64 bits) this specifies a value for each data fragment in the reassembly process. Different sized Maximum Transmission Units (MTUs) can be used throughout the Internet.
8 TTL  the time that the datagram is allowed to exist on the network. A router that processes the packet decrements this by one. Once the value reaches 0, the packet is discarded.
8 Protocol  Layer 4 protocol sending the datagram, UDP uses the number 17, TCP uses 6, ICMP uses 1, IGRP uses 88 and OSPF uses 89.

A token bucket algorithm is a method of handling packet traffic, by using an analogy of a bucket containing a number of tokens that arrive at a particular rate. Tokens are used to limit when data packets are transmitted.

The depth of the bucket limits the number of tokens, and the rate of arriving tokens limits how quickly packets can be sent.

The concept is as follows:

  • Tokens are added to the bucket at a fixed rate.
  • If the bucket becomes full, arriving tokens are thrown away.
  • Arriving data packets use up tokens from the bucket and are transmitted on the network.

This means that the bucket needs to be deep enough to handle bursts of traffic, and the token rate limits the transmission rate.
