Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Teaming Services: Broadcom NetXtreme BCM57XX User Guide A team of adapters function as a single virtual network interface and does not appear any different to other network devices than a non-teamed adapter. A virtual network adapter advertises a single Layer 2 and one or more Layer 3 addresses. When the teaming driver initializes, it selects one MAC address from one of the physical adapters that make up the team to be the Team MAC address.
Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Teaming Services: Broadcom NetXtreme BCM57XX User Guide (LOM) devices. Transmit load balancing is achieved by creating a hashing table using the source and destination IP addresses and TCP/UDP port numbers.The same combination of source and destination IP addresses and TCP/UDP port numbers will generally yield the same hash index and therefore point to the same port in the team.
Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Teaming Services: Broadcom NetXtreme BCM57XX User Guide Link Aggregation is similar to Generic Trunking except that it uses the Link Aggregation Control Protocol to negotiate the ports that will make up the team. LACP must be enabled at both ends of the link for the team to be operational. If LACP is not available at both ends of the link, 802.3ad provides a manual aggregation that only requires both ends of the link to be in a link up state.

Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Teaming Services: Broadcom NetXtreme BCM57XX User Guide assigned to a different port. Figure 2. Intermediate Driver Outbound Traffic Flow The Broadcom Intermediate Driver manages the outbound traffic flow for all teaming modes. For outbound traffic, every packet is first classified into a flow, and then distributed to the selected physical adapter for transmission. The flow classification involves an efficient hash computation over known protocol fields.
Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Teaming Services: Broadcom NetXtreme BCM57XX User Guide performs load balancing on a TCP session basis and not on a packet-by-packet basis. In the Outbound Flow Hash Entries, statistics counters are also updated after classification. The load-balancing engine uses these counters to periodically distribute the flows across teamed ports.
