<div dir="ltr">Teasing this out from a prior thread, I see these new config params for SmartGateway just added to olsrd v0.6.6 (along with features apparently relevant to multiple gateways):<br><br><pre> gateway: add SmartGatewayUseCount configuration parameter
gateway: use SmartGatewayUseCount setting the the gateway lists
gateway: add SmartGatewayEgressInterfaces configuration parameter
gateway: add SmartGatewayMarkOffset{Egress,Tunnels} configuration
parameters
gateway: add SmartGatewayPolicyRoutingScript configuration parameter
gateway: initialise a set of fixed tunnel names in/for multi-gateway mode
gateway: initialise the egress interface names in/for multi-gateway mode
gateway: use fixed tunnel names in/for multi-gateway mode
gateway: setup and clear table specific default routes in/for
multi-gateway mode
gateway: setup/cleanup multi-gateway mode during startup/shutdown of olsrd
gateway: introduce and use MULTI_GW_MODE define
gateway: enable multi-gateway mode
kernel_route: olsr_os_inetgw_tunnel_route now needs the table explicitly
Merge branch 'multigw'
gateway: also adjust the IPv6 gateway list in olsr_update_gateway_entry
gateway: the gateway policy script really is a bash script
gateway: cleanup the server tunnel later
cfgparser: add SmartGatewayAlwaysRemoveServerTunnel configuration
parameter
gateway: use SmartGatewayAlwaysRemoveServerTunnel configuration parameter
gateway: use tnl_(4|6) tunnel names instead of tnl(4|6)_
gateway: properly set the egress interface names</pre><br clear="all"><div><div>I do understand that deploying SmartGateway in a mesh with multiple gateway nodes, where each gateway performs NAT to a unique public IP, will cause open TCP sessions to break for any repeater nodes that switch their gateway. Likewise, I am assuming this breakage still occurs even when all gateway nodes share the same public IP, but the gateway nodes themselves sit on a NAT'ed LAN in front of their shared public IP. These caveats for mutli-gateway are acknowledged.<br>
<br></div><div>I writing to inquire if list members have success deploying SmartGateway v0.6.6 in multi-gateway mode, and likewise if anyone has found preferred param settings for the new entries listed above.<br><br></div>
<div>I am assuming a minimum of olsrd.conf settings like the following, deployed to all nodes. For now, I'm only interested in having repeater nodes use one gateway at a time, and in a mesh only doing IPv4 for now.<br>

}<br><br></div><div>Neglecting any obscure, network-specific settings like policy routing scripts, are there any other recommendations for appropriate SmartGateway configuration on an IPv4 mesh with multiple gateways?<br>
