9.4 Load Balancing

9.4.1 Load Balancing Groups

The increasing amount of data traffic over the Internet means it is necessary to send data
over different interfaces to increase the total bandwidth available. IP load balancing en-
ables the controlled distribution of traffic within a particular group of interfaces according to
the following principles:
• In contrast to Multilink PPP-based solutions, load balancing also functions with accounts
with different providers.
• Session-based load balancing is achieved.
• Related (dependent) sessions are always routed over the same interface.
• A decision on distribution is only made for outgoing sessions.
In the Routing -> Load Balancing -> Load Balancing Groups menu a list of all con-
figured load balancing groups is shown.
