Moreover I want to enable ECMP (MRADIX_PATH?) but i really don't know how it works and how tocontrol it and there are barely documentation on this,only things i read on the mailing lists and its not that clear to me. IPFW and traffic sharing is enabled (dummynet). Any recommendation are appreciated, your opinion is extremly important to me.
