Issue

Transmitted traffic does not appear to be well balanced across all slaves in some rhel-6 releases.
There are rhel-6 releases which do the balancing of outgoing traffic well across all the bond slaves and some which do not.

Four slaves bond instance with not well balanced outgoing traffic :

Bond: bond0 (active slave: eth1)
 Total TX packets: 4398303
  eth1: (20.6800%) 909741
  eth2: (18.0200%) 792644
  eth3: (35.2900%) 1552353
  eth4: (26.0000%) 1143565

Four slaves bond instance with well balanced outgoing traffic :

Bond: bond0 (active slave: eth1)

  eth3: (26.0300%) 2314223
