Does CSCsa56863 affect load-sharing for p2p links 
on an Enhanced FlexWAN module? I mean, like this:

7609#sh run | i ip route x.y.247.108
ip route x.y.247.108 255.255.255.255 Serial1/1/0.1/1/1/1:0
ip route x.y.247.108 255.255.255.255 Serial1/1/0.1/1/2/1:0

(Serial1/1/0 is a PA-MC-STM1 adapter attached to an
 Enhanced FlexWAN module.)

I'm unsure whether, given such scenario, load-sharing
is hardware-based or software-based, though I guess
the E-FlexWAN would perform software-based packet
forwarding, and hence CSCsa56863 would apply, right?

Thanks,
Everton
