VM load balance policy.
We have vswitch with "route based ip hash" with five vmnic.
Each port are 1GB.
Does this sending 5 *1GB packet or 1* 5 GB packet?
My understanding is that one time 5GB since it is ip hash.

Understanding IP Hash load balancing (2006129) [VMware KB]
There is no change in packet size (you might still want to enable Jumbo Frames). The vswitch determines which vmnic to use based on a hashing algorithm that uses both source and destination IP address. For any given communication instance, which uses the same source and destination, there will only be one NIC carrying the traffic. Load balancing comes about when there are multiple streams of traffic using diverse destinations.
