Path #1 might have a little more congestion than Path #2, which would cause
Packet #1 sent down Path #1 to sit in a buffer an extra millisecond or two
than Packet #2 sent down Path #2 with no congestion.  This results in Packet
#2 arriving at the destination before Packet #1.  The result of this being
poor application performance.
