Port usage for Multi WAN with Load Balancing

2024-08-28 07:48:36 - last edited 2024-08-29 01:48:28

Tags: #WAN Setup #Load Balancing #Routing

Model: ER7206 (TL-ER7206)

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version: 2.1.2 Build 20240324 Rel.46738

Curent Setup

Have 2 ISPs with identical speed connected with 2 Ports - Port 2 and Port 3

Enable Load Balancing - Checked

Enable Application Optimized Routing - Checked

Enable Bandwidth Based Balance Routing on port(s): - Not Checked
Link Backup - Not configured
Online Status - Both Ports Online

I see Port 3 is being utilized more than port 2 for session/Data. It should be 50:50, isn't it ?

Am I missing something ? Please advice

@Clive

Thanks . I read point#10

So, you should consider if the traffic is repeated based on the IP. For example, if you watch a movie from the streaming platform, you should not be load balanced and you should enable the Application Optimized Routing.

I think it should be OR & not and . Pl check again.

I am doing load ballancing and enabled optimised too. (not agreegating). Streaming service is working fine.

You don't really seem to get the point. I am reasoning an example instead of asking if your streaming is fine or not. And you seem to be very confused and focused on the grammar. Nice to have you here to examine my grammar. However, I have used third-party grammar to examine that and I don't think there is a pop-up notification about that.
