An administrator is creating a vSphere Standard Switch with virtual machine and VMkernel networking. The administrator has two uplinks attached to the switch and wants to make sure multiple sessions for a virtual machine can utilize both uplinks. Which load-balancing policy will guarantee this requirement is met, even if additional management or virtual machine traffic is added to the switch in the future?
