I am not this is a layer 3 problem or not. Is your router favorite T3 over
OC3? How many routes for a single destination in your routing table?
If this is a layer 3 problem, there are two more thing besides variance.
1, Make sure the routes is in your eigrp topology table. This is
ususally for routes learn from different neighbors.
2, traffic-share is set to balanced(default) not min.
