Actually, this does not effect load sharing necessarily. It will happen if the two routers are out of phase (sending RTMP broadcasts five seconds apart). As the routers do not negotiate the timings of these broadcasts, there is a likely chance that the broadcasts will be closer together. Let's say there are two routers A and B on a net (LocalTalk). If router A sends out an RTMP bcast, and then router B sends one out 1 second later, then router B will get 90% of the traffic on that net (from the non-router machines). > Which is better?
