connected to the Internet via WAN1 (IP_230.100.100.1) and WAN2
(IP_213.10.10.2) on BiGuard 50G. You can configure BiGuard 50G to balance the
load of each WAN port with one of two mechanisms:
1. Session (by session/by traffic/weight of link capability)
2. IP Hash (by traffic/weight of link capability)
The IP Hash mechanism will ensure that the traffic from the same source IP address
and destination IP address will go through the same WAN port. This is useful for
some server applications that need to identify the source IP address of the client.
By balancing the load between WAN1 and WAN2, your BiGuard 50G can ensure that
outbound traffic is efficiently handled by making sure that both ports are equally
sharing the load, preventing situations where one port is completely saturated by
outbound traffic.
Please refer to appendix H for example settings.
