[ovs-discuss] OVS Bonding only using 1 link

[Vinay Bannai]

"balance-slb" as I understand hashes the flows based on the MAC addresses.
So if you are sending traffic between two VM's using iperf woulnd't the MAC
address be the same? So I would think it should hash consistently a link
(excepting for when re-balancing happens).
