Could someone please confirm the following to be true (taken from CCO):

"Per-destination load balancing allows the router to distribute packets
based on the destination address, and uses multiple paths to achieve load
sharing. Packets for a given source-destination host pair are guaranteed to
take the same path, even if multiple paths are available. For example, given
two paths to the same network, all packets for destination1 on that network
go over the first path, all packets for destination2 on that network go over
the second path, and so on. Per-destination load balancing is enabled by
default when you start the router, and is the preferred load balancing for
most situations."

It was my understanding that per-destination load balancing was based on the
destination address only and not on the source/destination pair.



If someone could clarify it would be much appreciated.



Cheers



Tim
