Dual WAN latency based Failover

[Colanta]

Hello,

Currently i have a problem with my main isp (300/10), where its connection node on my town, while working (0.2/10), gives an insane high latency (300ms+) to Google DNS Server, pretty away from the normal (20ms).

I'm looking to add a parameter to the falldown configuration, to be ping not responding or higher than XXX, but i really do not know if it is possible to do this in an User Script/WatchDog (haven't found it on source yet?) mod.

Any Ideas? or something already posted and done elsewhere?

Thank You

PD. Sorry for my English

I've found what i guess is the code responsible for checking the dual wan connectivity by ping, i've done a small (dirty) patch just to try on the next node failure:

int do_ping_detect(int wan_unit, const char *target)
{
	FILE *fp;
	char cmd[512];
	int count, ret = -1, validLatency;
	float latency = -1;
	int debug = nvram_get_int("ping_debug");

	/* can be default target, if necesary *//*
	if (!target)
		target = nvram_safe_get("ping_target");
	*/

	/* Check for valid domain to avoid shell escaping */
	if (!is_valid_domainname(target))
		return -1;
	if (debug)
		_dprintf("%s: %s %s\n", __FUNCTION__, "check", target);

	snprintf(cmd, sizeof(cmd), "ping -c1 -w2 -s32 %s -Mdont '%s' 2>/dev/null",
		 nvram_get_int("ttl_spoof_enable") ? "" : "-t128", target);
	if ((fp = popen(cmd, "r")) != NULL) {
		while (fgets(cmd, sizeof(cmd), fp) != NULL) {
			if (sscanf(cmd, "%*s %*s transmitted, %d %*s received", &count) == 1) {
				ret = (count > 0);
				if (debug)
					_dprintf("%s: %s %s\n", __FUNCTION__, target, ret ? "ret: ok" : "ret: fail");
			} else if (sscanf(cmd, "rtt %*s = %f/%*s ms", &latency) == 1){
			    //TODO: Get '100' from an NVRAM Value
				validLatency = (latency < 100);
				if (debug)
				    _dprintf("%s: %s %s\n", __FUNCTION__, target, validLatency ? "latency: ok" : "latency: fail");
				break;
			}
		}
		pclose(fp);
	}

	return ret && validPing;
}
