dst-ip Load distribution is based on the destination host IP address.
dst-mac Load distribution is based on the destination host MAC address. Packets to the same
destination are sent on the same port, but packets to different destinations are sent on
different ports in the channel.
src-dst-ip Load distribution is based on the source and destination host IP address.
src-dst-mac Load distribution is based on the source and destination host MAC address.
src-ip Load distribution is based on the source host IP address.
src-mac Load distribution is based on the source MAC address. Packets from different hosts use
different ports in the channel, but packets from the same host use the same port.
The default is src-mac.
