Hello,
Unfortunately the point of this load balancing is to allow more throughput per flow. There is actually more throughput possible, however a good amount (20-30%) is not available with 2 paths, and almost no gain whatsoever is made when a third path is added.
Is there no queueing mechanism that can mitigate this that we could apply on the interface facing us?
