When the routing cache was removed in 3.6, the IPv4 multipath
algorithm changed from more or less being destination-based into
being quasi-random per-packet scheduling. This increases the risk
of out-of-order packets and makes it impossible to use multipath
together with anycast services.

Don't even try to be fancy.

Simply kill the round-robin stuff off completely, and make hash based
routing the one and only mode, no special configuration stuff
necessary.

I like the sound of that! Just to be clear - are you telling me to
stick with L3 and skip the L4 part?

For now it seems best to just do L3 and make ipv4 and ipv6 behave the
same.
