Multi-Line Link Load

{{ $t('productDocDetail.updateTime') }}: 2025-12-29

Descriptions for loading method:

Prefer the line with the highest priority: When there are multiple lines, the device presents the status of each line. According to line status, the administrator defines their priority and uses the line with higher priority preferentially; when the traffic is heavy, configuration to ensure services for preferred users are supported and non-core applications shall be taken away.

P4416#yIS1

Based on dst ISP: load the traffic to the corresponding ISP's line according to the ISP to which a destination IP belongs. It requires the administrator to define the DNS server of each line. Traffic requested by DNS servers supports an independent definition of the loading method.

P4418#yIS1

Even load assignment: All links have equal chances of load assignment and are selected sequentially.

P4420#yIS1

Weighted Round Robin: select all links based on weight proportion, which means that those with a more significant weight proportion have greater chances of being selected and vice versa. The weight proportion is based on the line bandwidth.

P4422#yIS1

Based on remaining bandwidth: Assign traffic based on the ratio of traffic and select lines with a low ratio of traffic taking up the bandwidth.

P4424#yIS1

Prefer the link at the top: Support link backup. Suppose there are links 1, 2, and 3, and select the first remaining link as the port. Only the preferred load policy supports this routing method.

Load exclusion policy: The default load policy is unique and supports the exclusion of lines with the load.
