USER MANUAL

Peplink Balance Series

Destination

This setting specifies the destination IP address, IP network, or domain name for traffic that

matches the rule.

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, accesses 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. You may

select common protocols from the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu.

Algorithm

This setting specifies the behavior of the Peplink Balance for the custom rule.

One of the following values can be selected:

 Weighted Balance

 Persistence

 Enforced

 Priority

 Overflow

 Least Used

 Lowest Latency

The upcoming sections detail the listed algorithms.

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.

15.2.1 Algorithm: Weighted Balance

This setting specifies the ratio of WAN connection usage to be applied on the specified

IP protocol andport. This setting is applicable only when Algorithm is set to Weighted

Balance.
