Re: Can you explain why paths to same host diverge?

Current code from cisco in the branch supporting Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF -- not publically available) that many NSPs are running has support for multiple path selection based on a hash of the source and destination address of a packet.When that code became available?
I believe sometime in March is being targetted. See your cisco representative for details :-)
Does anyone care to share experiences with that kind of load sharing in the real networks?
Well, we're using it in quite a few places and we're very happy with it. If you read my e2e-i citation, you'd have noted that Curtis mentioned that the T3 NSFnet NSSes did this and it was successful then... --jhawk
