[j-nsp] Per packet load balancing over NxT1's w- IP II ?

[Bosco.Sachanandani at orange.co.in]

We implemented this 2 weeks ago. I had Junos 5.5 earlier and had a very
bad load balancing pattern over 2 E1s on our M20 with IP II.

We upgraded to 6.4 Jan05 build (to take care of the Junos vulnerability)
and re-implemented the packet 'per-flow' policy. The load balancing over
the 2 E1s was MUCH better after that. Although, its still not
per-packet, it evidently handles per-flow much better when load
balancing.

[edit policy-options]

policy-statement load-balancing-policy {
    then {
        load-balance per-packet;
    }
}

[edit routing-options]
forwarding-table {
    export load-balancing-policy;
}

[edit forwarding-options]
hash-key {
    family inet {
        layer-3;
        layer-4;
    }
}

I had also set the hash-key earlier in Junos 5.5 for layer-3 and layer-4
but that did not help. Maybe it works better in Junos6.4

HTH,
Bosco

Is there a way to force this behavior? I don't think that per-flow
balancing will lead to good traffic distribution over multiple circuits.

Thanks,
