I would like to know from which version of Linux, ECMP is supported? I am trying to add a route with two next hops. Only one path gets added. And for the other path, the route says "RTNETLINK answers: File exists". I am not able to understand what's going on. The route prefix is not pointing to ecmp because metric is not given for static routes? How can I test multipath for a prefix that goes over 2 links? I tried "echo 7 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk" and dmesg but I don't see anything related to route add events. Just wondering how I should approach this problem.
