Just remember the route you want to include within the load balancing
should make it into the feasibility rule, otherwise it won't matter
whether you have a variance of 1 or a 100 and it won't work =)

Hi samy,
 variance formula variance = 1 + ( hi- bw / lo-bw) rounded-up
 let say variance = 2, mean every 2 packet through high b/w interface, 1
packet through low b/w interface, another words say 1:2.

If you want to unequal load balance, let say 1:4, and your config b/w
100 mbps hi and 10 mbps lo In this case you need to retuning your config
b/w interface to meet the rquirement. It is up to you, lo b/w or hi b/w

example : retune low b/w
variace 1:4
variance = 1 + ( hi- bw / lo-bw)
4 = 1 + ( 100 /lo-bw)
4 = (lo-bw + 100) /lo-bw
4 lo-bw = lo-b-w +100
4 lo-bw - lo-bw = 100
3 lo-bw = 100
 lo bw = 100/3
 lo-bw = 33.3334
so u need to re config your bandwith to 33333 kbps for lo bandwidth
interface.

plase correct me if i wrong

Not sure if you had a chance to look into the following doco before,
this
one explains the basic concept
