LC load balance outbound

I configured LC in active/standby mode, I have two links from differnet ISP it works fine, but I am trying to control the outbound trrafic as ISP1 has 4MB and ISP2 1MB.

 

 

I configured Weighting to be Ratio.

 

I configured Link Ratio for ISP1 to be 4 and ISP2 1, but I found that the trrafic going from both ISP are almost same.

 

 

Is there another way to control the outbound? and in the inbound in future.

 

 

Thanks.

    The link ratio going to take care of inbound load balancing, and that's not going to cover your outbound load balancing. To address outbound, we have to modify the LTM portion of the configuration. Specifically we have to change the load balance method for default gateway pool.

     

     

    By using ratio member OR ratio node... and then applying a ratio of 4 to your ISP1 router and a ratio of 1 to your ISP2 router.
