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.
