Platform Load-Balancing - Allied Telesis SwitchBlade x908 Series Software Reference Manual

platform load-balancing

This command selects which packet fields are used in the channel load balancing algorithm.
Use the no platform load-balancing command to restrict the default choice of packet
fields in the channel load balancing algorithm.
The load balancing algorithm determines the member port of a channel group when the packet
is destined for a port within a channel.
When Layer 4 (src-dst-port) is enabled then Layer 3 (src-dst-ip) header information is also
used to hash traffic to a port in the channel. When traffic is routed at Layer 3 to a channel
group then only Layer 3 header information is used to hash traffic to the ports in the channel
group, irrespective of whether src-dst-mac, src-dst-ip or src-dst-port is enabled.
