dst-ip Bases the load distribution on the destination IP address of the incoming
packet. Packets to the same destination travel on the same port, but packets
to different destinations travel on different ports in the channel.
dst-mac Bases the load distribution on the destination host MAC address of the
incoming packet. Packets to the same destination travel on the same port, but
packets to different destinations travel on different ports in the channel.
src-dst-ip Bases load distribution on the IP address of the source logic gate (XOR)
destination.
src-dst-mac Bases load distribution on the MAC address of the source logic gate (XOR)
destination.
src-ip Bases the load distribution on the source IP address. Packets from the same
source travel on the same port, but packets from different sources travel on
different ports in the channel.
src-mac Bases load distribution on the source MAC address of the incoming
packet.Packets from different hosts use different ports in the channel, but
packets from the same host use the same port in the channel.
round-robin Bases the load distribution on a circular pattern to create an evenly
distributed load.
