Configure Load Balancing of IPv6 Route
Configuration Condition
None
Configure the Calculation Mode of IPv6 Load Balance
The load balance has the following three kinds of calculation modes:
- Calculation mode based on source and destination addresses: Identify a flow with the source address and destination address. The packets of the same stream use the same path and is not disorderly. When the loads of the flows are unbalanced, it may lead to unbalanced line load.
- Calculation based on source address: Only the source address is used to identify a flow. The packets of the same flow use the same path to ensure that the same flow follows the same path without disorder. When the loads of the flows is unbalanced, it may lead to unbalanced line load.
- Calculation based on packets: The packets to the same destination adopt different paths to achieve load balancing on each path as far as possible, but may be disorderly.
