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. 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.
