What is Equal-cost Multi-path ECMP?

Understanding Equal-cost Multi-path ECMP

Equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) is a routing technique used in computer networks to distribute traffic across multiple paths with equal cost simultaneously. It helps to improve network performance, avoid congestion, and enhance fault tolerance by allowing packets to be forwarded using different paths in a balanced manner without preferential treatment based on any specific criteria.
