[c-nsp] BGP Balanced

[Alex Rubenstein]

Not being a wise-ass, but what is the difference between per-prefix, and
per-destination?

And, I believe what CEF *actually* does is per prefix, meaning that, if
there is a CEF route for a /17, all traffic for that /17 goes on whatever
link is cached for that /17 until a route update occurs.
