I semi-apologize for this question, but I don't have a suitably
equipped machine-switch combination free for testing, so I can't do
empirical testing.
I don't see the layer2+3 option listed in the CentOS 5.5 bonding
module:
# modinfo bonding | egrep 'version|xmit'
version: 3.4.0
srcversion: 0B48FBAC9285804638A6BE7
parm: xmit_hash_policy:XOR hashing method: 0 for layer 2
(default), 1 for layer 3+4 (charp)
Is the layer2+3 option simply undocumented via modinfo or is it not
present in the CentOS bonding module?
