<Dd> Transmit network packets based on a hash of the packet's source and destination . The default algorithm only considers MAC addresses (layer2). Newer versions allow selection of additional policies based on IP addresses (layer2 + 3) and TCP / UDP port numbers (layer3 + 4). This selects the same NIC slave for each destination MAC address, IP address, or IP address and port combination, respectively . This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance . </Dd> <Dt> Broadcast (broadcast) </Dt> <Dd> Transmit network packets on all slave network interfaces .

Ieee 802.3ad dynamic link aggregation vs adaptive load balancing
