Pepwave routers can be configured to distribute data traffic across multiple WAN connections. Also, the

Internet IP depends on the WAN connections over which communication actually takes place. As a result,

a LAN client computer behind the Pepwave router may communicate using multiple Internet IP addresses.

For example, a LAN client computer behind a Pepwave router with three WAN connections may

communicate on the Internet using three different IP addresses.

With the persistence feature, 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, eliminating the issues mentioned above.

There are two persistent modes: By Source and By Destination.

By Source:

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 loads to WAN connections when there are only a few client

machines.

The default 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 Load Distribution, the weights will

be automatically adjusted according to each WAN’s Downstream Bandwidth which is specified in the

WAN settings page). If you choose Custom, you can customize the weight of each WAN manually by using

the sliders.

Algorithm: Enforced

This setting specifies the WAN connection usage to be applied on the specified IP protocol and port. This

setting is applicable only when Algorithm is set to Enforced.

Matching traffic will be routed through the specified WAN connection, regardless of the health check status

of the WAN connection. Outbound traffic can be also be enforced to go through a specified SpeedFusion
