Hey Matthew,

There are *several* caveats to doing dynamic monitoring and remapping of
flows; one of the biggest challenges is that it puts extra demands on the
line cards tracking the flows, especially as the number of flows rises to
large values.  I recommend reading
https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/topic-map/load-balancing-aggregated-ethernet-interfaces.html#id-understanding-aggregated-ethernet-load-balancing
before configuring it.

You are confusing two features. Stateful and adaptive. I was proposing
adaptive, which just remaps the table, which is free, it is not flow
aware. Amount of flow results is very small bound number, amount of
states is very large unbound number.
