Hi,
I just wondering what the meaning of unequal cost load balancing doesn't
work on RIP.
>From my experience, I have setup a router that has two paths to the same
destination with equal metric (hop count) and also I set different bandwidth
for each path with "bandwidth" command.
When I check it by doing a ping, the packet goes well on both direction.
I think the unequal cost load balancing could not be done by RIP because it
could not arrange the packet so one packet goes to link 1, next two packets
go to link 2, the next one goes to link 1 and so on (for example : link1 ->
512K, link 2 -> 1024K) like EIGRP does. But RIP still load balance the
packet with equal treatment even the bandwidth are different. Since the RIP
header doesn't include any parameter for bandwidth so how it could detect
the bandwidth of link along the path to the destination ?
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thank you
