Load Balancing
Load Balancing
Weight
If you are using WAN load balancing, type a value indicating the amount
of traffic that should be routed though this connection relative to the other
connection.
For example, if you assign the primary connection a weight of 100, and
you assign the secondary connection a weight of 50, twice as much traffic
will be routed through the primary connection as through the secondary
connection.
To ensure full utilization of both Internet connections, the ratio between
the connections' load balancing weights should reflect the ratio between
the connections' bandwidths.
The default value is 50.
