Line 1: {{Short description\|Ability to balance computer network traffic}} '''Network load balancing''' ~~(commonly referred to as dual-WAN routing or [[multihoming]])~~ is the ability to balance traffic across two or more [[Wide area network\|WAN]] links without using complex [[Routing protocol\|routing protocols]] like [[Border Gateway Protocol\|BGP]]. This capability balances network sessions like Web, <!-- "Web" should be capitalized because it is the shortened form of the proper noun "World Wide Web" --> email, etc. over multiple connections in order to spread out the amount of [[Bandwidth (computing)\|bandwidth]] used by each [[Local area network\|LAN]] user, thus increasing the total amount of bandwidth available. For example, a user has a single WAN connection to the [[Internet]] operating at 1.5 Mbit/s. They wish to add a second broadband (cable, DSL, wireless, etc.) connection operating at 2.5 Mbit/s. This would provide them with a total of 4 Mbit/s of bandwidth when balancing sessions.
