The traffic of uncommon IP protocols on VLAN running default DAG is sent to one TMM by default.
Traffic for uncommon IP protocols not distributed evenly among available processing units.
Traffic of uncommon IP protocols on VLAN configured with default DAG.
None.
The system now correctly distributes traffic for uncommon IP protocols based on src IP and dest IP. The traffic of uncommon IP protocols on VLAN running default DAG is sent to one TMM by default. This DAG enhancement allows the default DAG to disaggregate traffic of uncommon IP protocols based on src IP and dest IP. Two more DB variables are added to control DAG behavior for uncommon IP protocols. ipproto.lookupip: enable/disable (default) ah.lookupip: enable/disable (default) Setting ipproto.lookupip to enable will disaggregate uncommon IP protocols based on src IP and dest IP. DB ipproto.lookupip applies to all IP protocols except for TCP, UDP, SCTP, IGMP, AH, ESP, GRE, ICMP, ICMPv6. Setting ah.lookupip to enable will disaggregate AH traffic based on src IP and dest IP.
