Round Robin Load Balancing Algorithm
Round Robin scheduling services queues on a rotating basis and is activated only
when an interface has more traffic than it can handle. A queue is given an amount
of bandwidth irrespective of the incoming traffic on that interface. This queue then
moves to the back of the list. The next queue is given an equal amount of
bandwidth, and then moves to the end of the list; and so on, depending on the
number of queues being used. This works in a looping fashion until a queue is
empty.
Egress
Bandwidth
This field displays with the least load first or spillover load balancing
algorithm.It displays the maximum number of kilobits of data the
ZyWALL is to send out through the interface per second.
Spillover This field displays with the spillover load balancing algorithm. Specify the
maximum bandwidth of traffic in kilobits per second (1~1048576) to
send out through the interface before using another interface. When this
spillover bandwidth limit is exceeded, the ZyWALL sends new session
traffic through the next interface. The traffic of existing sessions still goes
through the interface on which they started.
The ZyWALL uses the group member interfaces in the order that they are
listed.
