Overview

The peplink is a browser-based menu driven device with a lot of options for auto switching back and forth between various connections. The device is also designed to load balance over multiple connections. The connections on UNOLS vessels have differing delay times which is sometimes problematic.

Load Balancing

Peplink includes quite a few different algorithms for handling traffic across multiple connections at the same time, otherwise known as load balancing. A good description of the various methods can be found here: Peplink Load Balancing Algorithms. These can be used in combination to create a dynamic set of behavior.

A general approach for a UNOLS Vessel:
