Syntax Description

Command Modes Interface configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines Per-packet load balancing allows the router to send data packets over successive equal-cost paths without
regard to individual destination hosts or user sessions. Path utilization is good, but packets destined for
a given destination host might take different paths and might arrive out of order.
Per-destination load balancing allows the router to use multiple, equal-cost paths to achieve load sharing.
Packets for a given source-destination host pair are guaranteed to take the same path, even if multiple,
equal-cost paths are available. Traffic for different source-destination host pairs tend to take different
paths.
Note If you want to enable per-packet load sharing to a particular destination, then all interfaces that can
forward traffic to the destination must be enabled for per-packet load sharing.
per-destination (Optional) Enables per-destination load balancing on the interface.
