3.4.9 Load Balancing
With load balancing, traffic is distributed across a number of connections. Unlike bonding, these connections remain separate, and you do not need a hub in a Data Centre to bond these connections together.

FREUND FE W826 WD Generation of Wireless - Load
Balancing

MWAN3 uses normal Linux policy routing to balance outgoing traffic over multiple WAN connections.
Linux outgoing network traffic load-balancing is performed on a per-IP connection basis – it is not channel-bonding, where a single connection (e.g. a single download) will use multiple WAN connections simultaneously.
As such load-balancing will help speed multiple separate downloads or traffic generated from a group of source PCs all accessing different sites but it will not speed up a single download from one PC (unless the download is spread across multiple IP streams such as by using a download manager).

3.5 Logout
After Clicking on Logout, you will be taken to the following Login Screen.
