14.3 Introduction to Load balance
The current visits and data flow of the network are increasing; the processing capability
and calculated strength are both increasing. If the large amount of the data flow is transmitted
from one physical port of the switch at the same, it will cause the network congestion. If there
are many physical ports of the switch, it will cause the ports wasting. So there is a method
which can expand the network device and server bandwidth, increase the throughout, improve
the network flexibility and strengthen the data processing, it is Load Balance.
This switch supports the common load balance and enhanced load balance (RTAG7).
The common load balance only supports L2 src-mac, dst-mac, IP src-ip and dst-ip, but RTAG7
also supports MPLS, MIM and TRIL. The matched fields and business types are expanded.
