An implicit rule is configured with source-IP hashing. Why can a single busy client make WAN usage look uneven?

Choose the single best answer.

  1. A.The same source can retain one path assignment while generating a large workload.
  2. B.The implicit rule has secretly become a static URL filter.
  3. C.Equal-cost paths must always transfer exactly equal bytes.
  4. D.The second member cannot receive any traffic in SD-WAN.
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • The same source can retain one path assignment while generating a large workload.

Source hashing and workload sizes can create uneven bytes without a fault. The implicit rule remains steering logic, byte equality is not guaranteed, and other sources can use another eligible member.
