This could only work if the source hashing algorithm is round-robin or
similar.  Typically the path chosen is based on a hash of mac
addresses, IP addresses, ports, or some combination thereof.  See the
-P option dladm(1M).  Sun Trunking allowed round-robin but was
generally frowned upon because it encourages out of order packet
delivery thereby greatly increasing the expense of processing an
incoming data stream.
