What is ECMP?
Equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) routing is a routing strategy for forwarding packets over multiple best paths. These paths are considered 'equal cost' because the routing protocol has assigned them the same metric value. ECMP is used to increase network bandwidth and reliability by distributing traffic across multiple paths, and it can also improve network resilience by providing alternate paths in case of link failure.
