15 /**
16  * \brief
17  * The load-balance object represents an ECMP choice. The buckets of a load
18  * balance object point to the sub-graph after the choice is made.
19  * THe load-balance object is also object type returned from a FIB table lookup.
20  * As such it needs to represent the case where there is only one coice. It may
21  * seem like overkill to use a load-balance object in this case, but the reason
22  * is for performance. If the load-balance object were not the result of the FIB
23  * lookup, then some other object would be. The case where there was ECMP
24  * this other object would need a load-balance as a parent and hence just add
25  * an unnecessary indirection.
26  *
27  * It is also the object in the DP that represents a via-fib-entry in a recursive
28  * route.
