is that an IP address change during a session may be the result of an unauthorized intrusion

attempt. Therefore, to prevent damages from the potential intrusion, the session is terminated

upon the detection of an IP address change.

Pepwave routers can be configured to distribute data traffic across multiple WAN connections.

Also, the Internet IP depends on the WAN connections over which communication actually

takes place. As a result, a LAN client computer behind the Pepwave router may communicate

using multiple Internet IP addresses. For example, a LAN client computer behind a Pepwave

router with three WAN connections may communicate on the Internet using three different IP

addresses.

With the persistence feature, rules can be configured to enable client computers to

persistently utilize the same WAN connections for e-banking and other secure websites. As a

result, a client computer will communicate using one IP address, eliminating the issues

mentioned above.

There are two persistent modes: By Source and By Destination.

By Source:

The same WAN connection will be used for traffic matching the rule and

originating from the same machine, regardless of its destination. This option will

provide the highest level of application compatibility.

By Destination:

The same WAN connection will be used for traffic matching the rule, originating

from the same machine, and going to the same destination. This option can

better distribute loads to WAN connections when there are only a few client

machines.

The default mode is By Source. When there are multiple client requests, they can be

distributed (persistently) to WAN connections with a weight. If you choose Auto in Load

Distribution, the weights will be automatically adjusted according to each WAN’s

Downstream Bandwidth which is specified in the WAN settings page). If you choose

Custom, you can customize the weight of each WAN manually by using the sliders.

15.2.3 Algorithm: Enforced

This setting specifies the WAN connection usage to be applied on the specified IP protocol

and port. This setting is applicable only when Algorithm is set to Enforced.
