12.1
Outbound Traffic Policy
There are three main selections for the Outbound Traffic Policy of PePLink Balance:
High Application Compatibility
Normal Application Compatibility
Custom Outbound Traffic Rules
The selections are explained as follows:
Outbound Traffic Policy Settings
High Application
Compatibility
With the selection of this policy, outbound traffic from a source LAN
device is routed through the same WAN connection regardless of the
destination Internet IP address and protocol.
This provides the highest application compatibility.
Normal
Application
Compatibility
With the selection of this policy, outbound traffic from a source LAN
device to the same destination Internet IP address will persistently be
routed through the same WAN connection regardless of protocol.
This provides high compatibility to most applications, and users still
benefit from WAN link load balancing when multiple Internet servers
are accessed.
Custom
Outbound Traffic
Rules
With the selection of this policy, outbound traffic behavior can be
managed by defining custom rules.
The rules can control matched traffic to be routed persistently through
one WAN connection, or load balanced among multiple WAN
connections with a specified ratio.
Unmatched traffic is distributed among all of the active WAN
connections, based on the respective downstream bandwidth values.
The default policy is Normal Application Compatibility.
