How to Use This Tool

  1. Select your number of ISP links (2 to 5) and choose the operational mode: PCC Load Balancing + Failover or pure Active-Backup Failover.
  2. Enter your local LAN bridge name, each ISP's WAN interface, modem gateway IP, measured bandwidth in Mbps, and recursive ping monitor IP (such as 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8).
  3. Review the computed load ratio and total PCC stream count, then copy the complete RouterOS v7 script—including RFC 1918 LAN bypass rules—directly into your router terminal.

Worked Example: Dual-WAN 100M + 50M (2:1 Ratio)

Computed example: Combining 2 ISPs (ISP1 at 100M and ISP2 at 50M) produces a proportional load ratio of 2 : 1 across 3 PCC streams on bridge-lan (150 Mbps aggregate capacity).

Core Concept & Engineering Notes

Per Connection Classifier (PCC) is an advanced multi-WAN traffic distribution mechanism in MikroTik RouterOS that hashes packet headers—such as source address, destination address, and port numbers—into discrete integer streams to distribute traffic across multiple ISP links. Unlike round-robin per-packet balancing, which frequently breaks HTTPS sessions and online banking by transmitting interleaved packets across different public source IPs, PCC ensures that all packets belonging to an active TCP connection or UDP exchange persist through the same WAN provider. This calculator computes proportional load-balancing streams using greatest common divisor (GCD) arithmetic on each ISP's provisioned bandwidth. For instance, pairing a 100 Mbps primary ISP with a 50 Mbps secondary line produces a 2:1 ratio spanning 3 total PCC streams, automatically distributing two-thirds of outbound connections to the primary provider and one-third to the secondary provider. The total number of generated streams is capped at 15 to keep firewall mangle rule evaluation fast and preserve router CPU capacity. Alongside traffic balancing, the generator configures RouterOS v7 Recursive Routing Failover. Traditional gateway ping checks only verify the local Ethernet connection between the router and the ISP fiber modem. By establishing recursive routes targeting external DNS resolvers (such as Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 or Google 8.8.8.8) using scope and target-scope metrics, the router actively monitors true end-to-end internet transit. If a backhaul fiber cut occurs upstream while the local modem stays powered, the router automatically fails over traffic within seconds and seamlessly restores primary routing once the link recovers.

How It Was Calculated (Formulas & Steps)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why is the 'both-addresses-and-ports' classifier recommended for most setups?

This classifier hashes source IP, destination IP, and transport ports together. It yields the most even traffic distribution across multi-user networks without breaking HTTPS sessions, since any individual transport session remains locked to one WAN link.

What is the purpose of the RFC 1918 bypass rule in the PCC mangle table?

An early accept rule targeting private IP ranges (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16) ensures that local inter-VLAN routing, printer access, and modem management traffic are not inadvertently marked and routed out to the internet.

How does Recursive Routing Failover function in RouterOS v7?

The router defines a static host route to a public IP (e.g. 1.1.1.1) with scope=10 via the modem gateway. The default route (0.0.0.0/0) then uses 1.1.1.1 as its gateway with check-gateway=ping and target-scope=11. If pings to 1.1.1.1 fail, the default route becomes inactive.

Can PCC combine the download speed of a single-connection download?

No. A single TCP connection is routed through exactly one ISP. Aggregate throughput (e.g. 100 + 50 = 150 Mbps) is realized across concurrent multi-connection activities such as multi-threaded download managers or multiple concurrent users.
