Guys,
was practising this scenario.
R4 S2/1 (155.1.45.4/24) >> 64K Serial 64K>> (155.1.45.5/24)S2/1 R5
R4 S2/0 (155.1.0.4/24) >> 256 K Frame Relay 256K >> (155.1.0.5/24) S2/0 R5
R4 Loopback 0 - 150.1.4.4
R5 Loopback 0 - 150.1.5.5
Variance calculated is 4.
R5:
router eigrp 100
variance 4
R5#sh ip eigrp neighbors
IP-EIGRP neighbors for process 100

I can see the packets being load-balanced when tracing from R4 to R5's loopback. Did 4 traces continuously and noticed the follows
Q1.) For the 1st 2 traces, how come the packets reaches R4's S2/1 interface, it will go to R4's S2/0 interface again before hitting R4's loopback? The same goes for the 2nd trace, it will go to R4's S2/0 interface 1st, followed by R4's S2/1 interface before reaching R4's loopback.
Q2) For the 3rd and 4th traces, it hits the R4's loopback0 immediately as next hop, without hitting R4's S2/0 or S2/1.
Appreciate any kind advice.
Cheers
