The mpath diff is against 4.3 stable on given date.
I was not even able to patch 4.3 release.
OSPF and BGP does not came into play here yet,
because to assign the same/different costs to different routes to the
same destination I need to have routing table with 2 (or more) routes
to the same destination. The current kernel does not allow this.
Could you specify how you got this:
I have two default routes. One is IP address A. The other is
IP address B.
(The other issues as to what gw route specific packet are not
important)
Thank you,
Oleg

To which IP address do I forward a random packet?
There are some algoritms, for example round-robin
It is not a problem if you assign two equal routes you know what you
want.
If you have two links to one provider and want to balance outgoing
traffic it is much better to do it with to similar routes.
Shouldn't you just use BGP instead? That's what it was designed
to support.
OSPF have equal cost multupath, An BGP too (If I not mistaken)
so lack of kernel support of more then one route for one destination
is not good.
Zebra on Linux can do OSPF equal cost multipath but on FreeBSD cant.
Times ago there was hack for multipath routing on:
ftp://ftp.flirble.org/pub/unix/hacks/FreeBSD/mpath/
but it seems this page now removed.
