Brian,

ECMP and LAG (often same code) in most cases indeed use 5 tuples to populate hashing buckets for per flow load balancing.
Cheers,
Jeff

    Server load balancing is often stateful, and even stateless SLB
    usually includes transport info in the hash. Or so I learned while
    working on RFC 7098. People who know also informed me that ECMP
    sometimes (not always) uses transport info (see RFC 6438).
