this is equal cost load sharing, you can see that the load share is equal 1
to each one of the routes, also the load balancing is not a routing feature
but a the switching method
you can select either per-destination or per-packet, the unequal load
sharing can be done only with EIGRP when using Cisco router. the unequal
load share mean that you will be able to send for example: for 10 packet
going out you will be able to send 2 packet with one route and 8 packet with
another route.
the router do not support unequal load balancing using static routes!
