Has someone forgotten to remove the extra pcl-ag03 entries?

[#1]

Still seems to be problems between gateways:
On pcl-ag01
On pte-ag2  

edit. just tried again on pte-ag2  

edit2: still on pte-ag2  

[#2]

We're looking better in balance now, still not quite there but very close. Hopefully the speeds across the different gateways will be closer to each other.

There's been no comment on my suggestion in Reply #14 that extra entries should not be in place during the evening peak as this is guaranteed to concentrate short term and hence very active users all on to the same gateway.

Quote from: Bob Indeed, something like this but it's not for the faint hearted! Yes, I see what you mean!!    There is a link to a tutorial which looks vaguely comprehensible to us mortals. First thing I need to do is check if my router (an Intertex IX-67) supports SNMP and then find a quiet hour or so for some experimenting! Now if anyone with MRTG experience fancies a remote config job ......

MRTG is a brilliant piece of kit, and also the biggest pain in the butt to configure I have ever come across
I do remember getting it to work on my DG834G v?, but only after switching the protocol to use PPPoE instead of PPPoA (for some reason the SNMP traps for the PPPoA interface were never updating :()
The Intertex IX-67 looks like a pretty well featured router, but there is no specific mention of SNMP capabilities.  You could use something like FreeSNMP  to 'walk' it to see if/what MIBs it exposes.

It wouldn't work... The control of the extra RADIUS entries is down to BTW not us and is only done as a best efforts service, there's no guarantee that doing that close management of changes would actually get actioned when it needs to be. Plus it would take several days to get back in balance if you only had the extra entries in during the daytime so you'd just have speed problems the other way round, 1 gateway with really good speeds and all the others with reduced speeds.

It's a great router, but although some of their models do have SNMP functionality, I'm pretty sure the IX-67 doesn't - at least not officially.

Yes, might be worth a try, just in case, but I'm not holding my breath. 
I think I can get most of the info I need by just monitoring the internet data flows from one PC. I'm not too bothered about total usage on my account - after all the Plusnet usage tool tells me as much as I need to know. It's more about comparatives between different times & types of traffic & I can do that with the traffic on just one PC's network connection. I know (& can control) what other competing traffic is using the WAN connection, so I can make sure it doesn't skew the results.
