22.1 Legacy Series / Re: Status of ECMP Support in 22.1

Thanks Franco! I am just tinkering with now as a hobby, so multi-wan is not something I have to deal with at the moment.

Do you have any information about the hashing algorithm or is that likely not an issue?

So just to confirm would this look like the following:

Tunable: multipath
Description: Enables ECMP
Value: <up to X way ECMP>

I got this from the FFR documentation, but it seems like it is only a build flag not a runtime one.

Do you have any information about selecting a hashing algorithm as mentioned in the MetalLB docs or is that just inherent to ECMP? Apologies if that is a dumb question, I am still kinda a noob when it comes to advanced networking like this.

Specifically I am looking for support of a "resilient ECMP" algorithm for use with BGP via MetalLB as seen in this documentation page:

22.1 Legacy Series / Status of ECMP Support in 22.1

« on: February 24, 2022, 06:31:24 pm »

I have seen several old posts indicating that the switch to FreeBSD 13 in 22.1 would bring ECMP support, but I don't see it listed in the GUI yet. Is this feature available now and just lives behind a tunable or will it be offered as a future point release or is it delayed to a future major release like 22.7 or later?

Thank you in advance for the update!
