The amount of matching traffic that is distributed to a WAN connection is proportional to the
weight of the WAN connection relative to the total weight. Use the sliders to change each WAN’s
weight.
For example, with the following weight settings:
● Ethernet WAN1: 10
● Ethernet WAN2: 10
● Wi-Fi WAN: 10
● Cellular 1: 10
● Cellular 2: 10
● USB: 10
Total weight is 60 = (10 +10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10).
Matching traffic distributed to Ethernet WAN1 is 16.7% = (10 / 60 x 100%.
Matching traffic distributed to Ethernet WAN2 is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%.
Matching traffic distributed to Wi-Fi WAN is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%.
Matching traffic distributed to Cellular 1 is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%.
Matching traffic distributed to Cellular 2 is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%.
Matching traffic distributed to USB is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%.
13.2.2 Algorithm: Persistence
The configuration of persistent services is the solution to the few situations where link load
distribution for Internet services is undesirable. For example, for security reasons, many e-
banking and other secure websites terminate the session when the client computer’s Internet
IP address changes mid-session.
In general, different Internet IP addresses represent different computers. The security concern
is that an IP address change during a session may be the result of an unauthorized intrusion
attempt. Therefore, to prevent damages from the potential intrusion, the session is terminated
upon the detection of an IP address change.
Pepwave routers can be configured to distribute data traffic across multiple WAN connections.
