Mode 6( balance-alb ): Adaptive load balancing.If the current slave fails, then another slave takes over the incoming traffic based on MAC address. Incoming traffic is received by the current slave. The outgoing traffic is distributed based on the current load on each slave. Mode 5( balance-tlb ): Adaptive transmit load balancing.Mode 4( 802.3ad ): This mode is used to create the link aggregation groups that share the same speed and duplex settings.Mode 3 – broadcast policy: This transmits everything on all slave interfaces.This provides load balancing and fault tolerance. In this mode the same slave is used for transmission for each destination MAC address. Mode 2 – XOR policy: This mode balances outgoing traffic across the active ports.

Mode 1 – active-backup policy: Packet transmission happens only through the active interface and the traffic is routed through the backup interface only when the active interface went down.This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.

For ex, the first packet is transmitted using the interface and second packet is done through next interface and so on.

Mode 0 – Round-robin (RR) policy: Packet transmissions is done in a sequential order.

The following are different types of etherchannel bonding modes: If one of the underlying physical adapters goes down, then the other physical adapter is used to handle the communication traffic. The IP address will be configured on this virtual interface. In Linux, using etherchannel bonding you can combine two or more physical network interfaces (NIC) together to create a virtual interface.
