Chapter 6 Internet Connection

On the third page of the wizard, add all links (one by one) which you intend to use for traﬃc

load balancing.

In the Software Appliance / VMware Virtual Appliance edition, the wizard allows:

• to conﬁgure parameters of the selected interface,

• to create a new interface (PPPoE, PPTP or dial-up).

For details on network interfaces, see chapter 5.

Figure 6.14 Traﬃc Policy Wizard — failover of a leased link by a dial-up

For each link, speciﬁcation of bandwidth is required (i.e. traﬃc speed). The absolute value

of the link speed is not important (however, just for reference reasons, it should correspond

with the link speed suggested by the ISP). The important aspect is the ratio of speed between

individual links — it determines how Internet traﬃc will be divided among these links.

If login data for the selected telephone connections are not saved in the operating system,

valid username and password are required.

Example

Let us suppose there are two Internet links available. You set their bandwidth values to

4 Mbit/s and 8 Mbit/s. Total (proposed) speed of the Internet connection is therefore 12 Mbit/s,

while one link provides one third of this capacity and the other link provides two thirds. Sim-

ply said, one third of overall Internet traﬃc will be routed through one link and the resting

two thirds through the other one.
