WAN Load Balancing 1-3
Software Version 2.7.5
C613-10454-00 REV A
When WAN load balancing is disabled, the router uses its existing routing
protocols and tables to determine the path for a particular IP flow and will also
remember this route for future packets that belong to the same flow.
In order to efficiently operate with applications that can simultaneously run
multiple applications, the WAN load balancer is able to create sessions without
the need to specify port information.
The load balancer manages its sessions (creating, deleting, etc.) by starting a
timer for each new session created. Each timer is refreshed when a packet for
its particular session passes through the load balancer. When a particular timer
reaches its orphantimeout value, its associated session is deemed to be orphan
and is deleted.
If the load balancer is unable to find a particular resource in its tables and
alternative non-load-balanced routes exist, the router will use the best
alternative route available. Note that it is not mandatory for a router’s WAN
links to operate via the load balancer.
Load Distribution Methods
The following load distribution methods can be configured:
Round Robin Distribution
Weighted Lottery Distribution
Weighted Least Connect Distribution
Weighted Fast Response Distribution
Round Robin Distribution
This distribution method assigns new load balancer sessions alternately to each
of the WAN ports available. This distribution method is simple to implement
and is light on processing resources. However, round robin takes no account of
factors such as the bandwidth of each WAN connection, as does the weighted
lottery distribution method, which is described next.
Weighted Lottery Distribution
This distribution method assigns load balancer sessions to WAN ports by using
a pseudo-random selection process. Each WAN port is assigned a weighting
factor that increases or decreases the chances of the pseudo-random selection
process selecting a particular port. Weighting factors can be set either manually
or automatically.
When configuring the WAN load balancer manually, we recommend setting
the weighting factor equal to the bandwidth of the link divided by a factor such
as 1000. Therefore, a 10 Mbps link would be assigned a weighting factor of
10000000 ÷ 1000 = 10000.
The higher the weighting factor that is applied to a port, the greater will be its
chances of being selected.
