GS,

When load balancing, how does a person verify packets
don't load balance between routers to a endpoint
destination with any routing protocol.

For instance with EIGRP the variance command is used
on 2 routers at a remote site and the same subnet is
entered in the routing table on both routers. R1
receives 100 packets from a client, send 50 packets to
CentralLocationR1 and 50 packets to R2. Then R2 sends
25 packets to R1 and 25 packets to CentralLocationR2
from the received 50 packets. Is there some mechanism
to stop packets from being load balanced between each
other? Or,is this a manual configuration and design
question?

R1
sh ip route
10.0.0.0/8 R2
10.0.0.0/8 CentralLocationR1

R2
sh ip route
10.0.0.0/8 R1
10.0.0.0/8 CentralLocationR2
