Hi, Excuse my ignorance on this one.
I am having a debate with my boss. Please explain to me the basics of load balancing ? IP address x is accessing www.cnn.com It arrives at the load balancer which at that point in time pings a pre-determined gateway / IP address. Based on that speed, it will then submit the request over that line and wait for the transmission ? How does it actually decide which WAN port to send the packet ? is it constantly pinging on all WAN ports ? How is a typical webpage broken down into packets ? i.e. how many packets are there in a typical page ? Again apologies for the simple ness...just want to get my head around the load balancing / round robin concept. Lastly, looking at usage on the interfaces. My WAN port is showing quite a bit of throughput while my OPT1 and OPT2 aren't. I have setup my system as close to the manual as possible but it doesnt seem to be load balancing correctly.
