What are two network load-balancing policies for a vNetwork Distributed Switch? (Choose two)

Route based on source destination MAC hash

B.

C.

D.
Route based on IP hash

Explanation:
**** Debated A for D *****
11-9-2011 Debated again (giobuon) – so now there is a screen shot SHOWING what is right…

Argument: Vendor documentation and the fact these were the right answers on a 410 only proves the point further. Word “NETWORK” load-balancing policies… However there is an option on vSphere 5 distributed switches that is called “Route based on Physical NIC Load”. For now these two are the correct answers unless someone can provide proof that they aren’t.

(According to Cisco these are the only two teaming policies offered for network load balancing for DVS)
