Chapter 8: Port Trunking
148
Section I: Basic Features
This method is useful when a port trunk needs to send packets from one
source node to many destination nodes, something that the source
address method is not suited for. This method is also valid when sending
from many source nodes to one destination node, or from many sources
to many destinations.
Table 4 shows a possible matrix for a port trunk of three data links using
this method to handle traffic from four sources to four destinations.
As a general rule, the source address/destination address distribution
method is more flexible than the source address or destination address
method alone. If you are not sure which load distribution to choose, use
this method.
