Juniper today also has adaptive load-balancing, which essentially adds
one layer of abstraction between hash-result and egress port. This
way, on this interim-table, they can change how many hash-results go
to interface A how many to B.
Compliment this with control-plane monitoring of traffic rates in A
and B, and if some elephant flow is staying in B, adaptive
load-balancing can reduce how many hash-results hit B, diverting
larger share of traffic to A.
