Less fast routing than SNAT with mass requests, since for each new connection an IP address on the external network interface (WAN) is determined. Great for home use routers and when changing the IP address on the WAN interface.
PPS Viewer Script (Packets Per Second)
The script every second displays the number of incoming and outgoing packets per second on the specified network interface.Place the contents of the script into a file, for example, pps.sh and execute by specifying the name of the network interface:

How to view information about the network adapter in Linux
I will give examples of commands for viewing information about a network adapter in Linux. View network interfaces and assigned IP addresses:
Speed limit on network interface using TC
I will give an example of a speed limit of up to 3.3 Gb/s on a network interface on Ubuntu Server 16.04:
nload – monitoring network interface bandwidth
nload – network interface bandwidth monitoring tool with graphical display in the terminal. Installing nload on Linux Ubuntu/Debian:
Creating dummy interfaces on Linux
I will give an example of creating dummy interfaces in Linux. On the test I use Ubuntu Server 16.04. The first thing you need to load the module “dummy”, you can also add the option “numdummies = 2” to immediately create two dummyX interfaces:
BGP. Channel Balancing on Quagga
I will give an example of balancing only incoming traffic with two channels using Quagga. On the test, I will use Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS and Quagga 0.99.24.1, the network interface ens1f0 for the second provider with one neighbors and ens2f0 for the first provider with two neighbors, the local network will be connected to ens2f1.
