Re: originating packets on a router

I think that if there are equal cost routes, then the source address can be
chosen from any of the equal cost networks. It is important to know that
the source address will not change during a ping session but the interface
that the traffic is sent out of will (if using equal cost LB). Looking at
your output, this appears to be what is happening. The routing process
chose one of the equal cost networks as the source and routed the packets in
a load balancing fashion out both equal cost itnerfaces. To test, increase
the metric of one of the networks and try again.
