Enable multipath routing

Summary

If multiple routes have the same metric for a destination, only one of the routes is picked for outgoing traffic. This leads to other routes being unutilized for sending outgoing traffic. You can enable multipath routing to load balance and utilize all the available routes.

May want to clarify, since the first sentence mentions the same metric, that multipath routing will load balance across all available routes of all metrics. I.e., to clarify that this is not ECMP where it load balances across available routes of the same metric.
