Hi,

You can have a look at the virtual networking concepts document to have more details about network load balancing algorithms.

Hope it helps.

For most purposes, they are very similar...

thanks for sharing, in that document ( virtual networking concepts) its not really much clear almost they have same wording for both in one they use Port ID and in other they use MAC hash to balance the load..
