Description

This article demonstrates asymmetric routing: return path on a different interface. Equal Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) is a mechanism that allows multiple routes to the same destination with different next-hops in the routing. ECMP also load-balances routed traffic over those multiple next-hops.
