Balance-alb
(Adaptive Load
Balancing)
Balance-alb is similar to balance-tlb but also attempts to
redistribute incoming (receive load balancing) for IPV4
traffic. This setup does not require any special switch
support or configuration. The receive load balancing is
achieved by ARP negotiation sent by the local system on
their way out and overwrites the source hardware
address with the unique hardware address of one of the
Ethernet interfaces in the bond such that different peers
use different hardware address for the server. This mode
provides load balancing and fault tolerance.
