+ Specifies the 802.3ad aggregation selection logic to use. The
+ possible values and their effects are:
+
+ stable or 0

+ The active aggregator is chosen by largest aggregate

+ This is the default value.

+ bandwidth or 1
+
+ The active aggregator is chosen by largest aggregate
+ bandwidth. Reselection occurs if:
+
+ - A slave is added to or removed from the bond
+
+ - Any slave's link state changes
+
+ - Any slave's 802.3ad association state changes
+
+ - The bond's adminstrative state changes to up
+
+ count or 2
+
+ The active aggregator is chosen by the largest number of
+ ports (slaves). Reselection occurs as described under the
+ "bandwidth" setting, above.
+
+ The bandwidth and count selection policies permit failover of
+ 802.3ad aggregations when partial failure of the active aggregator
+ occurs. This keeps the aggregator with the highest availability
+ (either in bandwidth or in number of ports) active at all times.

+ This option was added in bonding version 3.4.0.
