Define Unequal-Cost Load Balancing

IGRP can simultaneously use an asymmetric set of paths for a given destination. This feature is known as unequal-cost load balancing. Unequal-cost load balancing allows traffic to be distributed among multiple (up to four) unequal-cost paths to provide greater overall throughput and reliability. Alternate path variance (that is, the difference in desirability between the primary and alternate paths) is used to determine the feasibility of a potential route. An alternate route is feasible if the next router in the path is closer to the destination (has a lower metric value) than the current router and if the metric for the entire alternate path is within the variance. Only paths that are feasible can be used for load balancing and included in the routing table. These conditions limit the number of cases in which load balancing can occur, but ensure that the dynamics of the network will remain stable.
