Unfortunately that is not strict round-robin load balancing. I do not
know about any equipment that offers actual round-robin
load-balancing.

Juniper's solution will cause way too much packet reordering for TCP to
handle. I am arguing that strict round-robin load balancing will
function better than hash-based in a lot of real-world
scenarios.
