Like 8847, all these would go out with same ethertype it came in.
Lookup would be exactly the same as 8847, only behavioural difference
would be, what bits are used for balancing.
Maybe I'm being thick, but I'm having difficulties seeing why this
would be challenging. But it would be challenging to sell this
composite ethertype idea, people would resist on premise 'we'll run
out of ethertype field, if everyone needs to do this composite'.
