Which routing protocol to use

I have two LANs that I want to connect together. I have two wireless
connections which unfortunately are not stable.

Lan1
192.168.95.0/24
| |
tunnel tunnel
10.10.11.x 10.10.12.x
| |
Lan2 |
192.168.96.0/24


Should I use OSPF for this? I wanted to do failover, but if I could also do
load-balancing that would be good too. I currently have quagga installed on
one machine on each end (the router which also connects the LANs to the
Internet)

Any help getting started would be appreciated. I have read over some docs
but I've not seem any examples close enough to what I want to do to so I can
see how it is done.

Thanks,
Tim

Re: Which routing protocol to use [In reply to]

Hi Xavier,

Thanks for your reply. I have tried bonding, but it doesn't work properly
for this application. I am using openvpn with tap adapters over the wireless
connections and the bonding doesn't seem to work as expected. I have started
to setup ospf. The machines see each other but they are not telling each
other what their LAN network is. "redistribute" I even tried a redistribute
command but that sends all the routes to the peer (thus messing up it's
default gateway). Any pointers you can offer?

Tim

You can use OSPF. Unfortunaly load balancing with OSPF will be harder to
do...

Another way is to bonding (linux low level) the tunnel and do ospf
