[Samba] [Question] Multichannel load-balancing algorithm

Hello,

I have a question about multichannel and the load-balancing algorithm.
What kind of algorithm is it? (Roud-robin, dynamic round-robin, ...)
What are the arguments the algorithm compute to load-balance the
network traffic on the interfaces?

I already know that if a 10Gb/s interface and a 1Gb/s interfaces are
in the multichannel connection the 1Gb/s one will be ignored until the
10Gb/s goes down. But the available bandwith (and not the theorical
bandwith) could vary. This is why I want to know if the load-balancing
algorithm doesn't limit to just load-balance equally on the best
theorical interfaces?

Thank you,
Martin
