How Does Unequal Cost Path Load Balancing (Variance) Work in

*Hi CCIEers,*

*router eigrp 1
network x.x.x.x
variance 3
traffic-share min across-interfaces*

 "when you use the *traffic-share* command with the keyword *min*, the
traffic is sent only across the minimum-cost path, even when there are
multiple paths in the routing table.".

With this command "traffic-share min across-interface" the traffic is
send only across the minimum-cost path.

What happen if we have two minimum cost path with the same metric for
the same destination, will it choose the one or both ?

Traffic-share min interface + variance will only route one minimum
cost path but will install the feasible route in the routing table so
it will save convergence time.

Please correct me if i am wrong with the explanation "traffic-share
min interface + variance"
Thanks
