<p>A port that has more than one interface is a ``bonded port.''
Bonding allows for load balancing and fail-over. Open vSwitch
supports ``source load balancing'' (SLB) bonding, which
- assigns flows to slaves based on source MAC address, with
- periodic rebalancing as traffic patterns change. This form of
- bonding does not require 802.3ad or other special support from
- the upstream switch to which the slave devices are
- connected.</p>

<p>These columns apply only to bonded ports. Their values are
