Subject: RE: [pfSense-discussion] load balancing - fail over
In case both WANs are available the connections will be distributed to the
WANs roundrobin. This waya you can hit the full bandwidth of both WANs even
with a single client as long as you use multiple connections (like with
downloadmanagers for example or if you open a HTTP Webpage with images from
different sites).
In case one of the WANs fails you'll end up with "(total bandwidth of all
WANs) - (WANs that are down)" (You can have as much WANs in a pool like your
hardware can handle). The monitor IPs of the WANs are polled every 5
seconds, so downtime of a WAN is detected rather quick.

Subject: [pfSense-discussion] load balancing - fail over
Hi all!
I have a question about load balancing - fail over.
I have 2 Internet connections and I made some tests about fail over. I set
the firewall rules with gateway on pooling interface and fail over worked
ok. I don't understood how work load balancing.
My scenario is:
2 Internet connection - work normally
1 pool for Internet connections
The firewall's rules have the gateway on pool interface.
In this case, is my bandwidth of internet the sun of bandwidth of internets
connection or is only one internet connection use and second internet
connection is use only in case of fail the first internet connection?
Thank you.
