What LAGG algorithms are supported?
-
Hi all
I'm trying to understand if pfSense can use L3/L4 hashing algorithms.
Reading the documentation, I was pretty sure the answer is no - this page (https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/interfaces/lagg.html) states "for communication between two single hosts it will only use one single port at a time because the client will only talk to one MAC address at a time".
But then this post (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Managed-Switches/pfsense-lag/m-p/1282249#M3786) on the Netgear forums suggests that actually the algorithm support is determined by the FreeBSD OS itself under the hood.
Reason for the question: I'm looking to upgrade to a new network switch, and I want to ensure my bonded links will spread load on multiple TCP connections from a single client, rather than pushing them all down one pipe.
