CEF Load Balancing
One, the destination-based balance of responsibility:
Destination-based load balancing allows routers to use multiple paths to balance the load. For a source/target host, packet forwarding takes the same path, which is handled even if multiple paths are available. Different paths can be used for packets that arrive at different destinations.
When CEF is enabled, the destination-based load Balancing feature is enabled by default. In most cases, this method of load balancing is used.
Because destination-based load balancing relies on data flow statistics to distribute information, load balancing becomes more efficient as the number of "source/destination pairs" increases.
II. packet-based load balancing:
When you enable packet-based load balancing, you must first disable the destination-based load balancing feature. In order to disable the destination-based load balancing feature, in the interface configuration mode, you can
No IP load-sharing per-destination
With packet-based load balancing, routers can continuously send packets on the path regardless of the specific host or user situation. This load balancing mechanism uses a rotational approach to determine which path each packet takes to reach its destination. Packet-based load balancing ensures load balancing on multiple links.
The RIP routing protocol in early iOS can support up to 6 equivalent load-balanced paths, and by default RIP supports 4 paths, and the latest iOS can support 32 of RIP's multi-route forwarding. (maximum-paths?)
