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

distributed load.
