You can usually use the show ip route command to find equal cost routes. For
example, below is the show ip route command output to a particular subnet that
has multiple routes. Notice there are two routing descriptor blocks. Each
block is one route. There is also an asterisk (*) next to one of the block
entries. This corresponds to the active route that is used for new traffic.
The term 'new traffic' corresponds to a single packet or an entire flow to a
destination, depending on the type of switching configured.
For process-switchingload balancing is on a per-packet basis and the
asterisk (*) points to the interface over which the next packet is sent.
For fast-switchingload balancing is on a per-destination basis and the
asterisk (*) points to the interface over which the next destination-based
flow is sent.
The position of the asterisk (*) keeps rotating among the equal cost paths
each time a packet/flow is served.
