Both regular GigaStream and controlled GigaStream use advanced hashing, which lets you select the criteria on which the hash is based, such as source and destination IP address, source and destination MAC address, source and destination port, and

The following table shows some different advanced-hash examples for regular GigaStream. Note that the advanced-hash method usually combines multiple criteria.
