Two or more, because there are many broadband routers allowing e.g. 4 WAN Ports. Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit |

Line 1:
'''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 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 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 1.5Mbit/s. They wish to add a second broadband (cable, DSL, wireless, etc.) connection operating at 2.5Mbit/s. This would provide them with a total of 4Mbit/s of bandwidth when balancing sessions.
