Internet connections, you can configure load balancing related parameters, such as,
load balancing mode, detection interval, retry times, and ID binding, and so on.
4.2.1 Internet Connection Detection Mechanism
When using multiple Internet connections, the Device should has the ability to
real-time monitor each Internet connection to ensure the network will not be
interrupted even a connection is faulty. To this end, we design flexible automatic
detection mechanism on the Device, and provide multiple detection methods to meet
the actual requirements.
For the sake of convenience, we firstly introduce several parameters.
●
Detection Target IP:
The IP address of a target device. The Device will monitor
an Internet connection by sending the detection packets to the specified target IP
address.
●
Detection Interval:
The time interval at which the Device periodically sends
detection packets, one packet at a time. Especially, if you don
’t want to monitor an
