This option specifies whether OSPF is allowed to generate
ECMP (equal-cost multipath) routes. Such routes are used when
there are several directions to the destination, each with
the same (computed) cost. This option also allows to specify
a limit on maximal number of nexthops in one route. By
default, ECMP is disabled. If enabled, default value of the
limit is 16.
