Observing multiple paths to destination |
|
Some routing protocols support multiple
paths to the same destination. Unlike single path algorithms, these
multi-path algorithms permit traffic over multiple lines, provide
better throughput, and are more reliable. Rt1 has two routes to network 192.168.30.0. The variance command will be set on Rt1 to ensure that both paths to network 192.168.30.0 are utilized. Figure

The preferred route is interface FastEthernet 0/0, but Serial 0/0 will also be used. To verify load balancing, ping 192.168.30.1. After the
ping
is executed the preferred route is using interface Serial 0/0. IGRP
will use load balancing between the two links.
