Billion Electric Company 30 user manual Inbound Traffic, Inbound Fail Over

In the above example, PC 1 (IP_192.168.2.2) and PC 2 (IP_192.168.2.3) are connected to the Internet via WAN1 (IP_230.100.100.1) and WAN2 (IP_213.10.10.2) on BiGuard 30. You can configure BiGuard 30 to balance the load of each WAN port with one of two mechanisms:

1.Session (by session/by traffic/weight of link capability)

2.IP Hash (by traffic/weight of link capability)

The IP Hash mechanism will ensure that the traffic from the same source IP address and destination IP address will go through the same WAN port. This is useful for some server applications that need to identify the source IP address of the client.

By balancing the load between WAN1 and WAN2, your BiGuard 30 can ensure that outbound traffic is efficiently handled by making sure that both ports are equally sharing the load, preventing situations where one port is completely saturated by outbound traffic.

Please refer to appendix H for example settings.
