If there are multiple levels of Heaven and our final destination has been predetermined in order to equalize the number of people in each level, would this be considered pre-destination load-balancing?
>>> Priscilla Oppenheimer 7/24/03 1:24:34 PM >>> Packets for a given source-destination pair are a subset of packets for a given destination. It's true that with per-destination load balancing, all packets for a destination go out the same interface. Thus, it is true that all packets for a given source-destination pair go out the same interface. But I doubt the router acutally looks at the source address with basic packet forwarding, so the tech writer who wrote the paragraph below probably should not have embellished it with that addition, unless it was somehow relevant to some other part of the discussion. It's hard to tell without seeing the entire context. Hope that makes sense.
