Load balancing using TOS, TCP/UDP ports

  • 1.  Load balancing using TOS, TCP/UDP ports

    Hi everyone.

    On MX, we can include TCP/UDP ports as part of flow by using:


    set forwarding-options hash-key family inet layer-3
    set forwarding-options hash-key family inet layer-4

    However, I also see enhanced key option which also allow TOS as part of flow determination:

    set forwarding-options enhanced-hash-key family inet type-of-service

    My question is we configure hash key and enhanced key, then all the parameters ( TCP/UDP ports, TOS) are now be factored in flow determination ?  or they are mutually exclusive?

    Much appreciated!!
