[j-nsp] load balancing between multiple BGP links

It isnt juniper in my case though but I just remebered the per packet thing
when I ran into this with another vendor

however, even link bandwidth via BGP , which i perhaps remember has been
there since 5.6 doesnt consider the "immediate util" at the time of
transmitting the packet....

Perhaps "per packet" with BGP link bandwidth would be good infact  i think..
.
or perhaps for flow based, flow setup based on "actual util at the time of
setup".... though nothing still seems to beat per packet :-) with link
bandwidth i guess...

Perpetum mobile? Or statistics inacuracy.

- Bgp multipath is simpler to run.
- Is it Juniper? If the pleas check forwarding option to identyfy
loadbalancing hash alghoritm.
