Listen to the man. But even if you happen to have equal cost paths, or design a suitable heuristic for non-equal-cost multipath, it's not clear to me that ECMP is beneficial. ECMP might increase throughput, granted, but it is likely to increase latency and packet loss. I don't see many cases of intra-home traffic that are likely to be limited by throughput, except backups. And who does backups in any case? So I'd be very cautious about deploying ECMP without a clear understanding of its performance implications in the particular case of the home -- does it bring perceptible benefits to the users, which, at the end of the day, is the only thing that really counts. Which should of course not prevent us from experimenting, quite the opposite. -- Juliusz _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list homenet@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
