Ugh, per-packet load balancing is bad, mmkay. It causes frequent packet
reordering and we don't want that.
So I don't believe at all in ECMP "solving" that problem.
Also, a future homenet router, I would imagine it's going to look
different from what current home gateways look like, it's going to have
multiple "wan" ports that actually will have direct access to the SOC
without any L2 chip in between, or at least the L2 switch is going to have
a lot more capacity towards the SOC than 1-2 gigs. Also, there is going to
have to be integration between the switch and the OS so the OS can detect
when the switch port goes down and not just wait until the keepalives time
out.
