If by "round-robin" you mean by destination only, then this is correct. However, if you strict per-packet load sharing regardless of flow, then CEF does have this capability, although the default behavior is the flow-based load sharing you describe. http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/12cgcr/switc... However, IIRC, code stability issues have plagued this feature in many IOS releases; I recall Intermedia selling a "bonded T1" product that used this feature, and supporting it was...not pleasant. -C
We used CEF in 11.x and it behaved the same way. It was never round-robin in any way we could observe.
