Other flows usually use a different egress interface, because the hask algorithm produces a different hash
value. For example, a second flow that is identical to the first one except for the destination port is
forwarded out a different interface, GigabitEthernet0/6/5/7:

After the traffic counters stabilize, the display now shows that the ingress flow on
GigabitEthernet0/6/5/4 has doubled and that that traffic is distributed equally between two egress
interfaces, GigabitEthernet 0/6/5/5 and 0/6/5/7, as expected:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:P2_CRS-8# show interface accounting rates

In an actual system, there is much more live traffic, so to the extent possible, reduce existing traffic so
you can more easily view the test traffic. These results were obtained with a traffic generator that creates
TCP flows, but you can obtain similar results using the ping command. Just make sure that the ping
packets pass through the router with load balancing interfaces to reach the destination IP address.
