I've been trying to set up RIP load balancing, and although I have two
equal-cost paths, "show ip route" only shows one of the paths.  When I
"debug ip packets", I notice the the "len" parameter's value is different
for the two serial links to the target network.  The output looks like this:

IP:  s=192.168.3.2 (Ethernet0), d=10.0.0.1  (Serial1), g=192.168.2.1, len 72
...

IP:  s=192.168.3.2 (Ethernet0), d=10.0.0.1  (Serial1), g=192.168.1.1, len 52
...

As you can see, the "len" vlaue is different for the two paths.  I should
note that the target Ethernet network runs between a 2621 and a 2514.

My questions are what is the "len" parameter?  Is the difference in the
values responsible for my inablility to load-balance?  And can the len be
modified?

Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this.  I've searched the
archives and the Cisco site, but I've been unable to find anything directly
on point.
