Pakcet Tracer Lab 1.4.3

This packet tracer activity involves equal cost load balancing. We examine a routing table in this lab and use the principles of equal cost load balancing to adjust it accordingly. Cost refers to the hop count, metric, and bandwidth. This value is used to determine the most favorable path to a particular destination. On the other hand load balancing, is translated into the capability of a router to distribute traffic over its network ports that are the same distance from the destination address. To have a successful load balancing outline, you must depend on both reliable speed as well as information. By having a good load balance scheme, as a reaction will impact your use of network segments resulting in an increase in network efficiency and bandwidth.
