Information
By default, FTOS distributes incoming traffic based on a hash algorithm using the following
criteria:
• IP source address
• IP destination address
• IP Protocol type
• TCP/UDP source port
• TCP/UDP destination port
The table below lists the load balance command options and how the command combinations
effect the distribution of traffic.
