This article explores the implementation of network load balancing in decentralized systems using OpenWrt, Quality of Service (QoS), and traffic balancing techniques. The increasing demand for high-quality net- work services and the surge in network traffic requires the adoption of more efficient load-balancing methods to main- tain network performance. This paper discusses the use of OpenWrt, an open-source firmware for network routers, to configure and manage network traffic. The article also covers the implementation of QoS and traffic balancing techniques to optimize network performance and reduce network congestion. The study employs iperf3 to evaluate network performance and demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed network load-balancing approach. The index terms include OpenWrt, QoS, balancing, traffic, and ip- erf3.
