Until you get to the point where a router routes based on, say, the length
of the packet and sends the SYN packet to the left and later packets to the
right. 

Depending on hoping that all your packets will end up in the same place
makes about as much sense as depending on your packets arriving in the same
order as you passed them to the kernel - very little.
