Figure 37. Outbound Policy > Custom Rule > Persistence
The
Persistence
Algorithm provides two options:
By Source
or
By Destination
.
When there are multiple client requests, they can be distributed (persistently) to WAN connections with a
weight. Select
Auto
for the
Load Distribution
setting to automatically adjust weights according to each
WAN’s Downstream Bandwidth specified in the WAN settings page (see
“Configuring the WAN Interface”
on page 39). Alternatively, select
Custom
to manually set the weight of each WAN using the sliders.

Description
By Source
a
a. Default Persistence Mode
The same WAN connection will be used for traffic matching the rule and originating from
the same machine regardless of its destination. This option will provide the highest level of
application compatibility.
By Destination
The same WAN connection will be used for traffic matching the rule, originating from the
same machine, and going to the same destination. This option can better distribute load
to WAN connections when there are only a few client machines.
