    It would be much better to do per flow load balancing then per packet.
    With per packet your TCP flows will arrive out of order which is a bad
    situation since it will lead to a large number of retransmissions and
    zero-window acknowledgments.

    The only tunable to help correct that is to allow selective
    acknowledgments.

    You are going to get much higher utilization on your load balanced lines
    by using per flow with multiple TCP connections.

    Anybody know how to implement per flow load balancing in FreeBSD? Are
    multiple default routes supported?

    It would be beautiful if you could put multiple routes with the same
    metric into the kernel and then the kernel would enable per flow load
    balancing of the routes...
