Also, the Internet IP depends on the WAN connections over which communication actually
takes place. As a result, a LAN client computer behind PePLink Balance may communicate
using multiple Internet IP addresses. For example, a LAN client computer behind a PePLink
Balance 300 with three WAN connections may communicate on the Internet using three
different IP addresses.
With the Persistency feature of PePLink balance, rules can be configured to enable client
computers to persistently utilize the same WAN connections for e-banking and other secure
websites. As a result, a client computer will communicate using one IP address and
eliminate the issues.
There are two Persistent Modes. One is by source and the other by destination.
By source:
The traffic matching this rule will be persistently routed through the
same WAN connection for the traffic from the same machine to the
same destination. It provides higher application compatibility but a less
even distribution of load to the WAN connections for the type of traffic.
By destination:
The traffic matching this rule will be persistently routed through the
same WAN connection for the traffic from any machine to the same
destination. It provides a more even distribution of load to the WAN
connections but also lower application compatibility.
The default Persistence Mode is by source.
When there are multiple client requests, they can be distributed (persistently) to WAN
connections with a weight. If you choose “Auto” in the field “Load Distribution”, the weights
will be each WAN’s inbound throughput. If you choose “Custom”, you can customize the
weight manually.
12.2.3

Port, and is applicable only when the Algorithm is set to
