When I wrote that I was thinking of multiple paths, rather than asymmetric paths. Compare the TCP performance of packet-based load balancing to session-based load-balancing.

Nor would I. It might make sense in a flat topology, but ours is more hierarchical. I find network management easier when we push the details of tail-circuit connections out to the access router. The less complications in hub and core routers, the better. Paul Ferguson ([email protected]) writes: > 'Tis better to black-hole packets than to flap. In core (EGP) routing, absolutely.
