If your network is configured for shortest-exit routing, the peer routers
that you would most likely use this on would have a very symmetrical view
on traffic. This would appear to make this option look very enticing..
My major concern in using this is exactly how large of a CPU hit running
this function costs. Does anyone have a feel on what this does to RSP2s &
4s on 75xx series routers with a decent amount of tables and traffic?
