Balances flows among slaves based on L2, L3, and L4 protocol
information such as destination MAC address, IP address, and TCP
port.

<p>Attempts to always assign a given flow to the same slave
consistently. In an effort to maintain stability, no load
balancing is done. Uses a similar hashing strategy to
<code>balance-tcp</code>, always taking into account L3 and L4
fields even if LACP negotiations are unsuccessful. </p>
<p>Slave selection decisions are made based on <ref table="Interface"
column="other_config" key="bond-stable-id"/> if set. Otherwise,
OpenFlow port number is used. Decisions are consistent across all
<code>ovs-vswitchd</code> instances with equivalent
<ref table="Interface" column="other_config" key="bond-stable-id"/>
