Sequential load balancing

You can use sequential load balancing to equally distribute packets among multiple links using a round robin algorithm. You should use the sequential option for load balancing a single connection's traffic across multiple links to increase single connection throughput. However, this method might cause out-of-order packet delivery.

If the remote TCP endpoints do not handle TCP reassembly correctly or lack enough memory to store out-of-order packets, they might be forced to drop packets. Therefore, this might result in unnecessary retransmissions from the storage controller.
