Load Balancing
11.2
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. The order of Interface priority depends on the metric assigned to
the interface.
a.
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.
