Method: |
| ICMP: |
| ||
|
| The health checking is performed by sending an ICMP |
|
| echo request packet to the specific destination. |
|
| The specific destination (“Alive Indicator”) could be either : |
|
| 1. if the input box is filled (NAME or IP address): the host is used. |
|
| 2. if the input box is left blank: gateway of wan interface will be used. |
|
| If one ICMP echo reply packet from Alive Indicator or gateway |
|
| is received, the connection is considered OK. If there are no |
|
| response received after 4 tries, the connection is considered |
|
| to be down. |
|
| HTTP: |
|
| The device gets a TCP connection with the Alive |
|
| Indicator first. Then the device sends HTTP HEAD |
|
| packet to the Alive Indicator. If any HTTP DATA from |
|
| the Alive Indicator is received, the connection is |
|
| considered OK. If there are no response received |
|
| after 5 tries, the connection is considered to be |
|
| down. |
|
| Traffic: |
|
| If there is no traffic on the WAN port in the Interval |
|
| time, the connection is considered to be down. |
Interval: |
| The period to check if the WAN port is alive or not. |
Alive Indicator: |
| This is used for the ICMP or HTTP methods to determine if |
|
| your Internet connection is active or not.(You can either |
|
| the IP address or host name) |
