If you have multiple parallel links over which many slow TCP connections are running, which should be your assumption, the proper thing to do is to use the links with round robin fashion without hashing. Without buffer bloat, packet reordering probability within each TCP connection is negligible.
So you mean, what... per-packet load balancing, in lieu of per-flow load balancing?
So, if you internally have 10 parallel 1G circuits expecting perfect hashing over them, it is not "non-rate-limited 10gig".
It is understood in the operator space that "rate limiting" generally refers to policing at the edge/access. The core is always abstracted, and that is just capacity planning and management by the operator. Mark.
