Hi Andy,

Here is the result:

rtr4-c-1-bjbj#sh ip cef 202.97.9.60

  via 202.97.9.17, POS2/0, 21 dependencies
    traffic share 1
    next hop 202.97.9.17, POS2/0
    valid adjacency
  via 202.97.9.161, POS2/3, 21 dependencies

    next hop 202.97.9.161, POS2/3

  0 packets, 0 bytes switched through the prefix

Just like in the "sh ip ro", all the three links have equal share of the traffic.
Because of them is ATM PVC, can I set him to share a small amount of traffic ?
Unequal share ? Note we'd not use MPLS tunnel tricks.
