These commands manage bonded ports on an Open vSwitch's bridges. To
understand some of these commands, it is important to understand a
-detail of the bonding implementation called ``MAC hashing.'' Instead
-of directly assigning Ethernet source addresses to slaves, the bonding
-implementation computes a function that maps an 48-bit Ethernet source
-addresses into an 8-bit value (a ``MAC hash'' value). All of the
-Ethernet addresses that map to a single 8-bit value are then assigned
-to a single slave.

The reassignment is not permanent: rebalancing or fail-over will
cause the MAC hash to be shifted to a new slave in the usual
