Description
The indexed-load-balance statement causes the creation of a nexthop structure that is both
a function of the hash, and a function of the low-order bits of the
IP address. Include this statement if you notice issues with load-balance
distribution for IPv4 or IPv6 traffic to improve load-balance distribution
for unicast and aggregated next hops.
For MPC line cards in MX routers, indexed-load-balance has been superseded by an internal hash-rotation mechanism to reduce
polarization.
Including the indexed-load-balance statement
causes an increase in memory usage on the device.
