My understanding is this:
Linux EQL is round-robin packet distribution. Each non-fragmented
packet is sent to the next port, and so on. Cisco uses this for so-called
load sharing.
Livingston uses a bucket brigade flow, in that when the first port
fills up, it flows to the second port. Hence the guideline to set
the MTU to something-low to force the port to "spill" over to the
other port with fragmented packets.
Multilink-PPP uses forced fragmentation. Each packet is automatically
fragmented equally across the "bundle", no matter what.
Am I Wrong???
