Fast and stable internet access is essential to support academic and administrative activities at Universitas Muhammadiyah Tegal. To overcome bandwidth fluctuations and ensure optimal connectivity, implementing a multi-ISP load balancing system is required. This study aims to compare the performance of Per Connection Classifier (PCC) and Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) load balancing algorithms based on TIPHON Quality of Service (QoS) standards at Universitas Muhammadiyah Tegal. The methodology utilizes a quantitative experimental approach on a MikroTik router with a dual-WAN configuration (2 ISPs × 100 Mbps). Testing was conducted over 7 days during peak hours (08:00–16:00 WIB) using iPerf3 for traffic injection and Wireshark for packet analysis. Quantitative results reveal that the PCC algorithm achieves superior performance across all QoS parameters, recording a throughput of 194.8 Mbps (97.4% efficiency), a delay of 28.5 ms, a jitter of 3.4 ms, and a packet loss of 0.3%. In contrast, ECMP produced a jitter of 11.6 ms and a packet loss of 2.8%, triggering session drops on critical services. PCC’s advantage is driven by its session locking mechanism via precise mangle rules, effectively mitigating bufferbloat and hash collisions. Based on a comprehensive evaluation of throughput, delay, jitter, and packet loss, the PCC algorithm is objectively superior and strongly recommended for implementation at Universitas Muhammadiyah Tegal.
