Synopsis
ip load-sharing [per-packet] [per-destination] no ip load-sharing [per-packet] [per-destination]
Configures
Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF)
Default
per-destination
Description
This command enables load sharing for Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF). By
default, CEF uses per-destination
load sharing, in
which all traffic for a given destination is sent through the same
interface. The per-packet
keyword changes the
behavior of CEF so that packets for the same destination may be sent
through different interfaces. This approach makes load sharing more
effective because it increases the effective bandwidth between the
router and the destination. However, packets might arrive at the
destination out of order, requiring the destination host to
reassemble them.
