A customer would like to utilize some ArubaOS-CX 6300M switches to perform OSPF routing.
All ports are routed, and ECMP is enabled, with other default parameters for OSPF. What will be the result of traffic sent from CLIENT-A to CLIENT-B?

In an ECMP (Equal-Cost Multi-Path) scenario with default OSPF parameters, the traffic from CLIENT-A to CLIENT-B will take the path with the highest bandwidth and lowest cost metric. Since SW3 -> SW-1 -> SW-2 and SW3 -> SW-4 -> SW-2 both have sufficient bandwidth, for simplicity and given equal costs, the simplest high-bandwidth path is SW3 -> SW-1 -> SW-2.
C, path with lower cost.
