F09-IP: Yes

Rationale

The column now explicitly selects optional per-packet unicast next-hop rotation over multiple provisioned routes, as documented in RFC 2991 section 2. Packets of the same communication can use concurrent paths. Flow-hashed ECMP alone would not establish this result. Reordering and unequal path MTUs are limitations; no endpoint path control or performance gain is claimed.

Assessment method

Documentary analysis; no protocol execution

Source context

Primary specification / explicit selected policy

Outstanding qualification

Bind a router implementation with per-packet scheduling and verify packets of one communication traverse both paths. Measure reordering/MTU consequences; do not substitute flow-hashed ECMP.
