Load-Balancing Routes in Forwarding Table
Question
Click the Exhibit button -
policy-options {
policy-statement load-balance {
then {
load-balance per-packet;
}
}
}
When the configuration shown in the exhibit is applied, which routes in the forwarding table will begin load-balancing packet flows?

A. B. C. D.A
Because the policy in the exhibit has no from statement, all routes in the forwarding table match the policy.
The configuration shown in the exhibit enables per-packet load balancing for packets that match a routing policy called "load-balance". This means that when a packet matches the criteria specified in the load-balance routing policy, the router will distribute the packet flows across multiple paths, sending one packet at a time over each available path.
However, this configuration alone does not determine which routes in the forwarding table will be load-balanced. The load-balancing behavior is determined by the routing table itself and the available paths to the destination networks.
Therefore, the answer to this question depends on the specific routing table entries and the available paths to the destination networks. If there are multiple equal-cost paths to a destination network, then those paths will be load-balanced according to the per-packet load-balancing behavior specified in the "load-balance" policy statement.
So, the correct answer to this question is not A, B, C, or D, but rather it depends on the specific routing table entries and the available paths to the destination networks. If there are multiple equal-cost paths to a destination network, then those paths will be load-balanced according to the per-packet load-balancing behavior specified in the "load-balance" policy statement.
