How are the values for different policies in "xmit_hash_policy" bonding parameter calculated?
Issue
- How are the values for different policies in
xmit_hash_policy
bonding parameter calculated? - We need to understand the practical implementation of the logic/math behind the load balancing algorithms.
- How the algorithms are employed for each of the three policies

? - What formula is used to compute the Network bonding hashing policies?
- What are the different hash policies in network bonding and how to configure it?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux
- Bonding driver providing link aggregation in Mode 2 (
balance-xor
) or Mode 4 (802.3ad
aka LACP) or Mode 5 (balance-tlb
) or Mode 6 (balance-alb
)
