Load Balance
Configuring Load Balancing
The Twin WAN line of products uses a session based Load Balancing algorithm by allowing you to
manage sessions using several different options:
By monitoring real time speed of both WAN connections, the XC-DPG602 will
Bytes rx+tx
establish new sessions on the WAN port with the lower speed. Use this if there is
a fairly even speed on both lines and would like to benefit the most from the speed
available.
Same as above but in this case, the XC-DPG602 monitors the packet flow and tries
Packets rx+tx
to maintain an even number of packets. Use this if transmitting a lot of small packets,
such as web browsing and Usenet. This helps you maintain the best latency.
The XC-DPG602 tries to maintain an even number of sessions on each WAN port by
Sessions
Established
looking at the current amount of sessions currently established. This is a very general
setting only to be used if you have similar types of connections (Cable and Cable, DSL
and DSL) to promote good Internet traffic.

Configuration
• Balance Type – Select the desired Balance Type:
- Bytes rx+tx – Traffic is measured by Bytes.
- Packets rx+tx – Traffic is measured by Packets.
- Sessions established – Traffic is measured by Sessions.
• Loading Share on WAN 1 – Enter the percentage (%) of traffic to be sent over WAN 1. The WAN port with the greater bandwidth should
