Traffic Management
Strict Binding:
traffic from bridged hosts (eg. transparent to wan1) can only go
through that specified wan(eg. wan1) interface.
Loose Binding:
Traffic from bridge hosts (eg. transparent to wan1) can go
thru alternative wan (eg.wan2) interface when bind interface (eg. wan1) is
down, it's acting like a fail over mechanism for transparent bridge mode.
Load Balancing:
Traffic from bridge hosts (eg. transparent to wan1) can go thru either
wan(eg. wan1 or wan2) interface based on loading mechanism specified in the load balance
section, it's acting like as a load balancing mechanism for transparent bridge mode.
•

inside/outside WAN and which WAN), its size can be adjusted if needed.
