Hi,
	the following requirement says that the cells are distributed based on the
ascending order of the LID.

 (R-8) The IMA transmitter shall distribute the ATM layer cells over the
links using an ascending order
based on the LID assigned to each link within the IMA group.

     This is in Page 27.

Regards
Siva
