There are two Persistent Modes. One is by source and the other 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 load 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 Download Bandwidth which is specified in the WAN settings page (see Section 10
Configuration of WAN Interface(s)). If you choose Custom, you can customize the weight of each WAN
manually by using the sliders.
12.2.3 Algorithm: Enforced
This setting specifies the WAN connection usage to be applied on the specified IP Protocol & Port, and is
applicable only when the Algorithm is set to Enforced.
Matching traffic will be routed through the specified WAN connection regardless of health check status of
the WAN connection.
12.2.4 Algorithm: Priority
This setting specifies the priority of the WAN connections to be utilized to route the specified network
service. The highest priority WAN connection available will always be used for routing the specified type
of traffic. A lower priority WAN connection will be used only when all higher priority connections have
become unavailable.
Tip
Configure multiple distribution rules to accommodate different kinds of services.
