Abstract
ECMP forwarding includes identifying and selecting an ECMP group of equal cost paths to a destination using destination information contained in a received packet. A member from the selected ECMP group is selected based on the ingress port on which the packet was received. The received packet is forwarded on the port that can reach the next hop associated with the selected member.
