MLT Traffic Distribution Algorithm

The following table includes updated hash key information for Mac-In-Mac transit traffic. The hashing algorithm uses the following packet fields and the incoming interface (source) port number to calculate the index to outgoing (destination) port number in an MLT:

Traffic type

Hashing algorithm

IPv4 traffic

Hash Key = [Destination IP Address (32 bits), Source IP Address (32 bits), Source TCP/UDP Port, Destination TCP/UDP port]

IPv4 traffic without TCP/UDP header

Hash Key = [Source IP Address (32 bits), Destination IP address (32 bits)]

IPv6 traffic

Hash Key = [Destination IPv6 Address (128 bits), Source IPv6 address (128 bits), Source TCP/UDP Port, Destination TCP/UDP port]

IPv6 traffic without TCP/UDP header

Hash Key = [Source IP Address (128 bits), Destination IP address (128 bits)]

Mac-In-Mac transit traffic

For VSP 4900 Series:

Hash Key = [Source Port (8bits), VLAN(12bits), Customer Destination Mac Address (48 bits), Customer Source Mac Address (48 bits)]

For VSP 7400 Series:

  • Inner Layer 2 non-IP packet: Hash Key = [Source Port (8bits), Customer VLAN(12bits), Customer Destination Mac Address (48 bits), Customer Source Mac Address (48 bits)]
  • Inner IP packet: Hash Key = [Source Port (8bits), VLAN(12bits), Destination IP (32bits), Source IP (32bits)]

Layer 2 Non-IP traffic

Hash Key = [Destination MAC Address (48 bits), Source MAC Address(48 bits)]
