[j-nsp] per packet/flow load balancing.

[Robert O'Hara]

Hi Jonathan,

On the early Juniper routers with the Internet Processor I
Switch fabrics for the M Series, per packet load balancing was possible.  
On the later, more advanced Internet Processor II switch fabric
(more common), per packet load balancing is not possible.
The software knob remains in Junos, but the functionality varies based on
the model of the switch fab in your M Series router.

Thanks,

Bob O'Hara

So that means the "load-balance per-packet" is useless?
