Users Manual

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.

17.2.3 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. Starting from Firmware 5.2, outbound traffic can be

enforced to go through a specified SpeedFusion

connection.
