4.1 About LinkAggregation Feature

- Data Distribution Mode:

Table 4.1.2 explains data distribution modes that FUJITSU PCI GigabitEthernet 3.0 supports.

Table 4.1.2 Data Distribution Mode

	The LinkAggregation function determines
	the transmission path to be used from the
	destination MAC address in the outgoing
Destination MAC address	packet. This reduces the likelihood of
distribution	only specific transmission paths being
	used if the system mainly communicates
	with remote systems on the same network
	and improves transfer efficiency.
	The LinkAggregation function determines
	the transmission path to be used from the
	destination IP address in the outgoing
Destination IP address	packet. This reduces the likelihood of
	only specific transmission paths being
distribution
	used if the system mainly communicates
	with remote systems on different
	networks via a router and improves

	The LinkAggregation function determines
	the transmission path to be used from the
	source IP and destination IP address in
	the outgoing packet. This reduces the
Source/Destination IP	likelihood of only specific transmission
	paths being used if the system mainly
address distribution
	communicates with remote systems on
	different networks via a router and
	improves transfer efficiency. Also, this
	is more suitable when the local system
	works as a router.
