Balance XOR Bonding, need some explanation

Wed Apr 07, 2010 8:29 am

Can someone help me to describe how balance xor mode on bonding works ?
I've read the wiki and searching from linux bonding, i just found this explanation :

"XOR policy: Transmit based on [(source MAC address XOR'd with destination MAC address) modulo slave count]. This selects the same slave for each destination MAC address. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance."

There's nothing more

What the configuration key on mikrotik that will influent this mode ?
The slave order ? Transmit hash policy (layer 2, layer 4, layer 3 and 4), what is the benefit to each policy ? The Mac Address on each slave ?

Thank You Very Much

in XOR mode all parameters from selected policy a xor'ed together - and on base of that value slave is selected. your example was for level 2
