Hi,
I have checked all the three conditions.
1. The maximum paths by default are 4. I have not modified it.
2. The feasibility condition is true as well (I actually did metric
manipulation to make this condition true), the reported distance is less
than feasible distance.
3. Yes, variance when multiplied by the lowest cost metric is greater than
the metric of the route to added.
I believe that's why the route is installed in the routing table, actual
issue is traffic-share ratio which is 80:20 instead of 4:1, I just want to
confirm whether 80:20 is same as 4:1 (as by mathematics it is same, don't
know about routers :-) )?
Regards
Ali

-------------------------------
The following three conditions must be met for a route to be included in
unequal-cost load sharing:
The maximum-paths limit must not be exceeded as a result of adding the
route to a load-sharing "group."
The next-hop router must be metrically closer to the destination. That
is,
its metric for the route must be smaller than the local router's metric. A
next-hop router, being closer to the destination, is often referred to as
the
downstream router.
The metric of the lowest-cost route, when multiplied by the variance,
must
be greater than the metric of the route to be added.
