In this release we completely refactored the policy group functionality, bringing the following changes:
The url-test/fallback/load-balance policy group can no longer be configured with a specific testing URL, but with a global testing URL or a policy-configured testing URL. The test results of the policy can be used directly in all policy group decisions, eliminating the need to retest each policy group individually.
All types of policy groups support mixed nesting, the only requirement is that no circular references can be used
When a group policy is used as a sub-policy of the url-test/fallback/load-balance group.
The latency of the select/url-test/fallback/ssid group is the latency of the selected policy.
The latency of the load-balance group is the average of the latencies of all available policies.
The timeout parameter of a policy group marks policies with latency exceeding this parameter as unavailable when making decisions for the group. But the maximum time taken to test the policy group is controlled by the global test-timeout parameter. (Default is 5s)
When testing a group due to decision making, all sub-policies that may be used by the group are tested, including sub-policies of the sub-policy group.
