Wait, is the Orchestrator a sentient being now? I thought it was just a piece of software!

Haha, the Orchestrator is probably just flipping a coin to decide the traffic distribution!

I think the Orchestrator would prioritize the appliance with two downlinks, sending more traffic its way.

The Orchestrator would distribute the traffic equally between the two downlinks.

I feel like the Orchestrator would prioritize the appliance with two downlinks, but I can't recall the exact proportions.

I'm a bit confused about how the lack of NAT affects the traffic distribution. Does it mean the Orchestrator just splits it evenly?

I remember a similar question where we had to calculate traffic based on connections. I think it might be a 1:2 ratio for the downlinks here.

I think the Orchestrator would distribute traffic based on the number of downlinks, but I'm not entirely sure how that works without NAT or VPN.

Sounds good, I'm going to try to work through this step-by-step and see if I can come up with the right proportion. Gotta make sure I understand the networking concepts here.

I think I've got an idea. The Orchestrator will likely distribute the traffic proportionally based on the number of downlinks for each appliance, right? So if one has 1 and the other has 2, the split should be 1/3 and 2/3.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Does the number of downlinks actually affect the traffic distribution, or is there something else I'm missing here?

Okay, let me see. No NAT or VPN, so the Orchestrator should be handling the traffic distribution. The key is understanding how it handles the different number of downlinks.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the network topology and security group rules carefully.
