Example 1: Simple WAN Link Load Balancing
In this example, many of the load balancing options are left to their default values. See Server Load
Balancing, page 165 for details on other options.
Figure 104 - Simple WAN Link Load Balancing Example, page 639
illustrates a simple topology with
two WAN links. Two ISPs, a server, and a client are directly connected to Alteon. Alteon load
balances traffic between the two WAN links for both inbound and outbound traffic.
The server hosting www.radware.com is directly connected to a port on Alteon. To illustrate
outbound traffic, a client is directly connected to another port on Alteon.
