Understanding Unequal-cost Load Balancing

Unequal-cost load balancing is a network routing technique where traffic is distributed across different paths based on predefined cost metrics rather than equally distributing it. This method is commonly used in network environments to optimize resource utilization and improve performance by directing traffic through paths with varying costs, which are usually determined by factors like link speed, latency, or quality of service requirements.
