Don't quite get you clearly, but to verify, traceroute is a good one.
To prevent Routers from loadbalancing between each other, isn't that
what the maximum-paths configuration is for under each RP? #
If you change the maximum-paths to be 1, that wouldn't load balance, it
will force the RP to choose best path.
Well for BGP that would be 1 by default, but I think for EIGRP/OSPF it's
4 by default. Is this what you're looking for?
Also, you should be able to alter costs/metrics to force choosing 1
route over the other.
Many Thanks

Subject: Load balancing
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
