When Peer Nodes have the same priority level a weight (designated as provisioned capacity in the DSR GUI) is assigned to each Peer Node. This defines the weighted distribution of messages among the Peer Nodes. For example, if two Peer Nodes with equal priority have weights of 100 and 150, respectively, then 40% (100/(100+150)) of the messages will be forwarded to the first Peer Node and 60% (150/(100+150)) of the messages will be forward to the second.
Figure 1 illustrates the concept of weighted load sharing in the DSR.
