3. Better TCP windowing and better performance when all packets follow the same path.
When I wrote that I was thinking of multiple paths, rather than asymmetric paths. Compare the TCP performance of packet-based load balancing to session-based load-balancing. Vadim Antonov (avg () ncube com) writes:

Certainly I would not agree with this rule.
Nor would I. It might make sense in a flat topology, but ours is more hierarchical. I find network management easier when we push the details of tail-circuit connections out to the access router. The less complications in hub and core routers, the better. Paul Ferguson (pferguso () cisco com) writes:
'Tis better to black-hole packets than to flap.
In core (EGP) routing, absolutely. However, I haven't noticed any ill effects of flapping in our internal network. -- Jerry Anderson jerry () gi net Principal Engineer (402) 436-3030 Implementation & Consulting http://www.gi.net/jerry Global Internet Network Services (formerly known as MIDnet) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
