15.2.1 Algorithm: Weighted Balance

This setting specifies the ratio of WAN connection usage to be applied on the specified IP
protocol and port. This setting is applicable only when Algorithm is set to Weighted Balance.
The amount of matching traffic that is distributed to a WAN connection is proportional to the
weight of the WAN connection relative to the total weight. Use the sliders to change each WAN's
weight.
For example, with the following weight settings:
● Ethernet WAN1: 10
● Ethernet WAN2: 10
● Wi-Fi WAN: 10
● Cellular 1: 10
● Cellular 2: 10

This field allows you to configure the default action when all the selected Connections are
not available.
Drop the Traffic - Traffic will be discarded.
Use Any Available Connections - Traffic will be routed to any available Connection, even
it is not selected in the list.
Fall-through to Next Rule - Traffic will continue to match the next Outbound Policy rule just
like this rule is inactive.
This setting specifies whether to terminate existing IP sessions on a less preferred WAN
connection in the event that a more preferred WAN connection is recovered. This setting is
applicable to the Priority algorithms. By default, this setting is disabled. In this case, existing
IP sessions will not be terminated or affected when any other WAN connection is recovered.
When this setting is enabled, existing IP sessions may be terminated when another WAN
connection is recovered, such that only the preferred healthy WAN connection(s) is used at
any point in time.
