Inbound Load Balancing - Billion BiGuard 50G User Manual

2.4.2 Inbound Load Balancing

Inbound Load Balancing allows BiGuard 50G to intelligently manage inbound traffic
based on the amount of load of each WAN connection.
In the above example, an FTP server (IP_192.168.2.2) and an HTTP server
(IP_192.168.2.3) are connected to the Internet via WAN1
(www.billion2.dyndns.org) and WAN2 (www.billion3.dyndns.org) on BiGuard 50G.
Remote PCs are attempting to access the servers via the Internet. Using Inbound
Load Balancing, BiGuard 50G can direct incoming requests to the correct WAN port
based on group assignment. For example, a sales force can be directed to
www.billion2.dyndns.org, while the R&D group can access www.billion3.dyndns.org.
By balancing the load between WAN1 and WAN2, your BiGuard 50G can ensure that
inbound traffic is efficiently handled with both ports equally sharing the load,
preventing situations where service is slow because one port is completely
saturated by inbound traffic.
Please refer to appendix H for example settings.
