• include-l4 — Enables inherits system-wide settings including Layer 4 source and destination port
value in hashing algorithm.
• exclude-l4 — Layer 4 source and destination port value will not be included in hashing.
• no load-balancing-algorithm — Inherits system-wide settings.
The hashing algorithm addresses finer spraying granularity where many hosts are connected to the network.
To address more efficient traffic distribution between network links (forming a LAG group), a hashing algo-
rithm extension takes into account Layer 4 information (src/dst L4-protocol port).
The hashing index can be calculated according to the following algorithm:
If [(TCP or UDP traffic) & enabled]
hash (<TCP/UDP ports>, <IP addresses>)
else if (IP traffic)
hash (<IP addresses>)
else
hash (<MAC addresses>)
endif
This algorithm will be used in all cases where IP information in per-packet hashing is included (see LAG
and ECMP Hashing on page 120). However the Layer 4 information (TCP/UDP ports) will not be used in
the following cases:
• Fragmented packets
Default no load-balancing-algorithm
Parameters option — Specifies the load balancing algorithm to be used on this port.
Values include-l4 — Specifies that the source and destination ports are used in the hashing
algorithm.
exclude-l4 — Specifies that the source and destination ports are not used in the hashing
algorithm.
