New Custom Rule Settings

Service Name

This setting specifies the name of the outbound traffic rule.

Enable

This setting specifies whether the outbound traffic rule takes effect.

With an Enable value of Yes, the rule takes effect: traffic is matched, and actions are

taken, by Peplink Balance based on the other parameters of the rule.

With an Enable value of No, the rule does not take effect: Peplink Balance disregards the

other parameters of the rule.

Source

This setting specifies the source IP Address, IP Network or MAC Address for traffic that

matches the rule.

Destination

This setting specifies the destination IP Address or IP Network for traffic that matches the

rule.

Protocol and Port

This setting specifies the IP Protocol and Port of traffic that matches this rule. You may

select some common protocol from the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu.

Algorithm

This setting specifies the behavior of Peplink Balance for the custom rule.

One of the following values can be selected:

 Weighted Balance

 Persistence

 Enforced

 Priority

 Overflow

 Least Used (not applicable to Balance 20/30)

 Lowest Latency (not applicable to Balance 20/30)

The upcoming sections present the details of the listed algorithms.

Terminate Sessions

on Link Recovery

This setting specifies whether to terminate existing IP sessions on a less preferred WAN

connection in the event that a more preferred WAN connection is recovered. This setting is

applicable to the Algorithms: Weighted, Persistence and Priority.

By default, this is disabled. In this case, all existing IP sessions will not be terminated or

affected when any other WAN connection is recovered. If it is set to enabled, existing IP

sessions may be terminated when another WAN connection is recovered such that only the

preferred healthy WAN connection(s) are used at any point in time.
