ip ecmp-deterministic
e
Deterministic ECMP Next Hop arranges all ECMPs in order before writing them into
the CAM. For example, suppose the RTM learns 8 ECMPs in the order that the
protocols and interfaces came up. In this case, the FIB and CAM sort them so that the
ECMPs are always arranged.This implementation ensures that every chassis having
the same prefixes orders the ECMPs the same.
With 8 or less ECMPs, the ordering is lexicographic and deterministic. With more
than 8 ECMPs, ordering is deterministic, but it is not in lexicographic order.
