AFAIK, load balancing on Juniper boxes with the Internet 
Process II ASIC is actually per-flow load balancing, rather 
than Cisco-style per-packet load balancing.

I suppose folk would get confused by Juniper's use 
of "per-packet" if they've previously used 
Cisco's "per-packet" and "per-destination" load balancing 
techniques.

Cheers,

Mark.
