There is code in the KAME project (kame.net) for an option called
RADIX_MULTIPATH which lets you set more than one route to a destination.
I think that the best way to describe the balancing it does is
"per-flow." It will not make an independent decision for each packet
in a TCP socket, nor for each packet sent from the same UDP socket,
because the first route chosen is cached in the TCP/UDP PCBs.
I don't know the answer to your questions about MPLS/ALTQ/RSVP.
