Two basic methods are available for balancing the data load:
- If the channel's bandwidth is known, then the connections will be assigned to the channel with the lowest workload (in percent).
- If the bandwidth is not known, then a differentiation is made according
to the type of connection required; a TCP connection; or VPN or PPTP
connections from the LANCOM.
- If a TCP connection requests a channel, then the one with the lowest absolute workload will be chosen.
- If a VPN or PPTP connection requests a channel, then the connections will be equally spread between all available channels.
Note: For the most effective use of load balancing, the bandwidth should be entered into the list of WAN interfaces under LANconfig in the configuration area 'Interface' on the 'WAN' tab under the button Interface settings (Telnet: /Setup/Interfaces/DSL, WEBconfig: LCOS menu tree / Setup / Interfaces / DSL).
