So you mean, what... per-packet load balancing, in lieu of per-flow load

Why, do you think, you can rely on existence of flows?
So, if you internally have 10 parallel 1G circuits expecting
perfect hashing over them, it is not "non-rate-limited 10gig".
It is understood in the operator space that "rate limiting" generally
refers to policing at the edge/access.
And nothing beyond, of course.
The core is always abstracted, and that is just capacity planning and
management by the operator.
ECMP, surely, is a too abstract concept to properly manage/operate
simple situations with equal speed multi parallel point to point links.
