4.3.7Balance Policy

Choose menu “Network→Balance Policy”, you can configure the scheduler policy of the WAN. The policy mainly depends on 2 solutions: IP address pair priority and Application priority. So, we create 2 tables for these solutions. They are Existed-IP-Pair-Table and Existed-Application-Table. It is recommended to keep the default settings if you are not sure whether you can set them better.
