How will load balancing work if a resource can be reached by multiple gateways?
There are two high availability modes:
Automatic High Availability - Cipherscale will choose one or many available gateways that can reach the resource to load balance the traffic over as long as the data speed and performance of the chosen set of gateways are similar. For example, a resource is available from gateways deployed in Florida, California, and New York. If a user in Texas is trying to access the resource and the estimated data throughput to the resource from Florida and California gateways is more or less the same, but the estimated performance of using the gateway in New York is much worse, then cipherscale will coordinate with the device and gateways to load balance the traffic to the resource from both the Florida and California gateways but not the New York gateway.
Manual High Availability - The administrator manually prioritizes the gateways providing access to the resource. Cipherscale will try to access the resource using the highest priority gateway first, and if that gateway is not available, try to reach the resource using the next gateway by priority and so on.
