Enable Application
Optimized Routing
Enable Bandwidth Based
Balance Routing on port(s)
With Application Optimized Routing enabled, the router will consider
the source IP address and destination IP address (or destination port)
of the packets as a whole and record the WAN port they pass through.
Then the packets with the same source IP address and destination IP
address (or destination port) will be forwarded to the recorded WAN
port. This feature ensures that multi-connected applications work
properly.
Select the WAN port from the drop-down list to enable Bandwidth
Based Balance Routing.
