The only real problem you can run into is if someone is boneheaded enough to misconfigure their routing to do per prefix load splitting
^^^^^^^^^^ per packet
across WAN links or worse yet across providers. Again, such people don't deserve to stay in business (since *all* TCP traffic from their network will suck), but they do exist. The common newbie mistake is to configure per prefix load split among two default routes. Westnet used to do this many years ago. Some small network in Florida did this more recently.

Minor correction but big difference in meaning. Per prefix is fine. It is per packet load split that causes trouble., Curtis
