If Domain Name is chosen and a domain name, such as foobar.com, is entered, any
outgoing accesses to foobar.com and *.foobar.com will match this criterion. You may enter
a wildcard (.*) at the end of a domain name to match any host with a name having the
domain name in the middle. If you enter foobar.*, for example, www.foobar.com,
www.foobar.co.jp, or foobar.co.uk will also match. Placing wildcards in any other position is
not supported.
NOTE: if a server has one Internet IP address and multiple server names, and if one of the
names is defined here, access to any one of the server names will also match this rule.
Protocol and Port
This setting specifies the IP protocol and port of traffic that matches this rule.
Algorithm
This setting specifies the behavior of the Pepwave router for the custom rule.
One of the following values can be selected (note that some Pepwave routers provide only
some of these options):
● Weighted Balance
● Persistence
● Enforced
● Priority
● Overflow
● Least Used
● Lowest Latency
● Fastest Response Time
For a full explanation of each Algorithm, please see the following article:

Load Distribution
Weight
This is to define the outbound traffic weight ratio for each WAN connection.
Terminate
Sessions on Link
Recovery
This setting specifies whether to terminate existing IP sessions on a less preferred WAN
connection in the event that a more preferred WAN connection is recovered. This setting is
applicable to the Weighted, Persistence, and Priority algorithms. By default, this setting is
disabled. In this case, existing IP sessions will not be terminated or affected when any other
WAN connection is recovered. When this setting is enabled, existing IP sessions may be
terminated when another WAN connection is recovered, such that only the preferred
healthy WAN connection(s) is used at any point in time.
