JN0-281 · Question #4
Which statement is correct about per-flow load balancing?
The correct answer is C. Packets associated with the same flow are sent through the same egress port. Per-flow load balancing ensures that packets within the same flow are always forwarded over the same path, ensuring that packet order is preserved. Flow Definition: A flow is typically defined by a combination of packet attributes like source/destination IP, source/destination…

Explanation
Per-flow load balancing ensures that packets within the same flow are always forwarded over the same path, ensuring that packet order is preserved. Flow Definition: A flow is typically defined by a combination of packet attributes like source/destination IP, source/destination port, and protocol type. Packets that belong to the same flow are routed over the same path to avoid reordering. Per-Flow Behavior: In per-flow load balancing, the hashing algorithm ensures that all packets in a particular flow use the same egress port, maintaining order across the network.
