yes, I'm aware of above options, but I have SPS2024-G5 in this setup. did some tests with mode servers involved, and outbound is no worry. this is how trunk(4) hashing works. IFACE STATE DESC IPKTS IBYTES IERRS OPKTS OBYTES OERRS COLLS bnx0 up:U 487 237275 0 129 41107 0 0 bnx1 up:U 5 360 0 348 65383 0 0 IFACE STATE DESC IPKTS IBYTES IERRS OPKTS OBYTES OERRS COLLS em0 up:U 228 54112 0 136 51470 0 0 em1 up:U 218 65348 0 322 79837 0 0 but bnx1 inbound is always showing 4-5 packets no matter how traffic is distributed :/
