    The FortiGate devices out there running 5.4.x code are able to use WAN Link Load Balancing which has a couple of different options (packet count, bandwidth, etc) to determine which interface is used. Gives you some flexibility. 

     

    Is there a specific reason you ask? Certain application or task you are trying to carry out?

    Hi, sorry for the delay in my response. I checked the link that Abel suggested and was enough to clear my doubts. Thanks a lot.
