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 and output VLAN, - 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.
