If Domain Name is chosen and a domain name, such as foobar.com
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. Via a drop-
down menu, the following protocols can be specified:
● Any
● TCP
● UDP
● IP
● DSCP
Alternatively, the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu can be used to automatically
fill
in the protocol and port number of common Internet services (e.g., HTTP, HTTPS, etc.) After
selecting an item from the Protocol Selection Tool drop-
down menu, the protocol and port
number remains manually modifiable.
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

Load Distribution
Weight
This is to define the outbound traffic weight ratio for each WAN connection.
