Hi GS!

 

The task said that:"configure BGP load sharing for outbound traffic" and
"configure BGP load balancing for outbound traffic"

My opinion is:

Load sharing is: the first flow of packets to destination X point to
next-hop A, and the second flow of packets to destination Y point to
next-hop B.

Load balancing is the first packet of a flow to destination X point to
next-hop A, and the second packet of the same flow to the same destination X
point to next-hop B.

but I'm not sure about it!

So please explain what is difference between them?

 

Thank you!
