Hello
Hello @Kasun Bandara 
Depending on what cisco platform you are using can vary on the etherchannel LB methods available but src/dest port is applicable to most. - here

#1 Load balancing using UDP/TCP ports.

#2 Yes, far side LB choice doesn't matter to receiver's LB choice (and in some cases, you want the two sides to use different LB choices)

#3 I know the Catalyst 6500 supported it as a LB choice, and at the time of the 6500s, most other Cisco switches did not.  I'm not current on whether newer switches now offer this as an option.
