Some switches (I'm sure the Cisco ones, for example) will happily do etherchannel packet distribution based on IP header info even if they're just configured to switch and not route. All it has to "know" about IP is which offsets in the packet correspond to what it should be hashing against. And (cisco) switches have been blurring the L2/L3 switch boundary for a while (think IGMP snooping for a very early example.) Adrian -- Adrian Chadd - adrian@freebsd.org
