It will try to load balance the traffic but it relies on CEF load balancing, so traffic is not actually equally balance across the links.

If all costs (metrics) are equal, it will do equal-cost load balancing. Both routes (A-B-E and A-C-E) will show up in the routing table at the same time.

that is what I am trying to figure out...so 1/2 on one side and 1/2 on the other ? if yes how does the packet get reassembled at the destination.
Thanks

that is the answer that I was looking for.. Thanks a lot..
If route-cache mechanisms are disabled, the route table is the only information used to forward a packet. For every packet the destination address is matched against the route table, and the packet is forwarded through the interface with the lower utilization.
