About GSLB network preferences

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), the central coordinator for the assignment of unique parameter values for Internet protocols, does not provide sufficient geographic separation of client proximity information. Because of this, large ISPs cannot use their own geographic data to determine GSLB site selection based on client location. However, the WSM lets you overwrite the IANA table and configure client-to-site mapping to select GSLB sites based on client location. The WSM proximity database is limited to 128 entries and is supported for HTTP protocol.
