Explanation
Prior to vSphere 6.x, the 'Route based on physical NIC load' (workload) policy was exclusively available on vSphere Distributed Switches (vDS), which require vSphere Enterprise Plus licensing. In vSphere 6.x, VMware made this policy available on vSphere Standard Switches (vSS) as well, extending dynamic load balancing to environments without vDS. The other options - IP Hash, originating virtual port, and Source MAC Hash - were already supported on Standard Switches in earlier versions.
