What is ECMP (Equal-Cost Multi-Path) routing?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is B) Forwarding traffic across multiple equal-cost paths simultaneously for load balancing and redundancy, using per-flow or per-packet hashing
B
Correct Answer
Forwarding traffic across multiple equal-cost paths simultaneously for load balancing and redundancy, using per-flow or per-packet hashing
Explanation
ECMP installs multiple equal-cost routes. Per-flow hashing (src/dst IP+port) ensures packet ordering. Used in data center leaf-spine fabrics for full-mesh bandwidth between servers.
