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.
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.
Bases load distribution on the IP address of the source logic gate (XOR)
destination.
Bases load distribution on the MAC address of the source logic gate (XOR)
destination.
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.
