Layer 3 Hashing
When the Layer 3 Hashing Dispatch Method is specified, LinkProof performs the hash function on the source and destination IP. This ensures that when a connection passes through the device, as long as it uses the same source and destination IP address, the connection will remain persistent (that is, it will pass through the same NHR). This method is symmetric, meaning that when replacing the source with the destination IP address and vice versa, the selected NHR will be identical.
