Hash-based load balancing for bonded network interfaces

摘要

Systems and methods for hash-based load balancing implemented by bonded network interfaces. An example method may comprise: receiving, by a bonded interface of a computer system, a data link layer frame originated by a virtual machine; identifying a network interface controller (NIC) of the bonded interface by calculating a value of a hash function of an identifier of the virtual machine and at least one of: a destination Media Access Control (MAC) address of the data link layer frame or a destination network layer address of a network layer packet comprised by the data link layer frame; and transmitting the data link layer frame via the identified NIC.
