Hi.

I've recently read about ECMP in quagga-users@ mailing list and seems 
like quagga can inject equal-cost routes into the kernel (at least in 
Linux).

So I wanna know if the same is possible under FreeBSD, because I'm 
constructing a VPN with lots of failover channels and a dynamic routing, 
and it would be really great to use these failover links for balancing.

The problem is that this topic lacks the documentation like totally.
 From the commit comments I understand that with RADIX_MPATH I can use 
more than one route towards the destination, but I really cannot find 
anywhere the answer to the question 'will some form of balancing, 
per-flow or per-packet take place'.

Am I missing some man ?
Does anyone know this for sure ?

Thanks.
Eugene.
