ip cef load-sharing algorithm

Usage Guidelines

The original CEF load sharing algorithm produced distortions in load sharing across multiple routers due to the use of the same algorithm on every router. When the load sharing algorithm is set to universal mode, each router on the network can make a different load sharing decision for each source-destination address pair which resolves load sharing distortions.

The tunnel algorithm is designed to more fairly share load when only a few source-destination pairs are involved.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable the CEF load sharing algorithm for universal environments:

Router(config)# ip cef load-sharing algorithm universal 1
