Thank you for that excellent explanation, Rodney!

One question, though... I've always used per-packet when I have, for example,
four T1s, because it's been my understanding that with the src/dst hash,
an individual user will be limited to the bandwidth of a single T1 during
a particular transfer, because the packets will always follow the same path.
With per-packet, the transfer can use more of the available bandwidth.  I have
observed this behavior in practice, so the out-of-order packets can't be
causing *too* much trouble.  Could you comment, please?
