So you mean, what... per-packet load balancing, in lieu of per-flow load balancing?

Why, do you think, you can rely on existence of flows?

So, if you internally have 10 parallel 1G circuits expecting perfect hashing over them, it is not "non-rate-limited 10gig".

It is understood in the operator space that "rate limiting" generally refers to policing at the edge/access.

And nothing beyond, of course.

The core is always abstracted, and that is just capacity planning and management by the operator.

ECMP, surely, is a too abstract concept to properly manage/operate simple situations with equal speed multi parallel point to point links. Masataka Ohta
