Load Balancing
Network > Load Balancing
Load balancing is a mechanism that enables balancing traffic between various
links. It distributes traffic among various links, optimizing utilization of all the links
to accelerate performance and cut operating costs.
How it works
Load balancing is determined by the load metric i.e. weight. Each link is assigned
a relative weight and Router distributes traffic across links in proportion to the
ratio of weights assigned to individual link. This weight determines how much
traffic will pass through a particular link relative to the other link.
Administrator can set weight and define how the traffic should be directed to
providers to best utilize their bandwidth investments. Weight can be selected
based on:
Link capacity (for links with different bandwidth)
Link/Bandwidth cost (for links with varying cost)
Note
The default configuration of load balancer is in
Failover Mode with the highest priority given to
WAN, followed by WWAN and followed by Cellular.
