>Hello all,
>
>I understand that Internet Processor II only supports load 
>balancing per flow and not per packet (as CEF does).
>
>Can someone throw some more light on what exactly does 'per 
>flow' mean ? The reason I am asking this is:
>
>1) Is it per VRF ? For eg all PE to PE traffic for VRF A will 
>go via link 1 and all PE to PE traffic for VRF B will go via link 2?
>
>2) Or is it that 'flows' between various IP addresses WITHIN 
>each VRF will go via alternate links ? For eg. Prefix 
>10.0.0.0/8 which is within VRF A will go via Link 1 and Prefix 
>20.0.0.0/8 which is also within VRF A will go via Link 2 ?
>
>Additionally,
>For any sort of load balancing between the 2 PE to PE links, 
>do I need to explicitly add a policy  or will it happen anyway 
>if the IGP recognises it as equal cost links ? We are using 
>LDP between these routers.

>Any help would be great. I am running version 5.5R3.1 between 
>3 M20 routers.
