Load Balancing & Networking
Network Permissions:
Local networks configured in Equalizer use a default/deny permission scheme.
This means that if an Administrator wants to route between two networks using Equalizer, they
must explicitly enable permissions between that pair of networks.
Note that permissions are not symmetrical: it is possible to configure a solution where one
network can talk to another but not vice-versa. For most configurations, permissions are
necessary on both networks: if network "A" needs to route to network "B", a permission must be
added to "A" for "B" and another permission must be added to "B" for "A".
Permissions are only necessary when using Equalizer to route packets. They are not required for
Application Traffic Management. That is, when an Equalizer cluster is paired with a server (by
adding a server pool containing that server to the cluster), Equalizer knows that any packets
associated with a connection for that cluster should be allowed on the server network.
