When the client attempts to create an encrypted connection with one of the hosts in the encryption domain, it chooses a gateway based on the configured MEP settings.
-
If the MEP setting is First-to-respond (the default), the client tries to connect to both gateways. The encrypted connection is created with the first gateway that responds.
-
If the MEP setting is Load Distribution, the client randomly selects a gateway.
