Network load balancing in MikroTik RouterOS allows distributing traffic across multiple links without dynamic routing, with options for per-connection or per-packet methods. The documentation includes setup examples like failover configurations and comparisons of balancing techniques using firewall mangle, bonding, OSPF, and ECMP.

Mangle in RouterOS marks packets for advanced processing using special marks, enabling features like queue trees and NAT. It modifies IP header fields and operates through five predefined chains (PREROUTING, INPUT, OUTPUT, FORWARD, POSTROUTING) to apply rules based on packet marks or connection states.
