Hi OSPF Group,

Kindly explain why can't we load balance next hops across area in case of
equi-cost paths?

 

    16.8.  Equal-cost multipath

 

        The OSPF protocol maintains multiple equal-cost routes to all

        destinations.  This can be seen in the steps used above to

        calculate the routing table, and in the definition of the

        routing table structure.

 

        Each one of the multiple routes will be of the same type

        (intra-area, inter-area, type 1 external or type 2 external),

        cost, and will have the same associated area.  However, each

        route may specify a separate next hop and Advertising router.

 

Regards,

Ramesh
