ECMP support is only available in FreeBSD 8.0. I have not received any request to merge that feature back into 7.x branch. In FreeBSD 8.0, currently there is no association between interface link state and the route availability RTF_UP flag, so ECMP cannot be used as a failover mechanism effectively. I have a working patch to address that deficiency and will commit the patch once I find more time to do additional unit testing on it. --Qing > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-net@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd- > net@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Balaji G > Sent: Thursday, January 28, 2010 3:56 AM > To: freebsd-net@freebsd.org > Subject: ECMP support in FreeBSD 7.2 and 8.0 + > > Hi Everybody > > I would like to know whether ECMP feature is supported in FreeBSD 7.2. > I was able to infer that ECMP is supported in FreeBSD 8.0 because i > was able to look into the SVN checkin logs and also found out that in > FreeBSD 8.0 the ECMP code was wrapped under RADIX_MPATH macro. > > I was not able to get any results when i did a search for RADIX_MPATH > in 7.2.
