Layer 3 Port Channel vs Layer 3 Equal Cost Load Balancing

Hi All,

I've got a quick question and I'd be interested in getting the communities feedback.

If you are designing a solution which involves multiple Layer 3 links between devices would you typically go for a Layer 3 port channel or multiple layer 3 links and use the routing protocol to do equal cost multipath / load balancing?

What's your approach? I can't think that there's a massive difference, a port channel seems easier from a trouble shooting and routing protocol overhead and topology perspective but I'd been keen to understand other people's views.

Many Thanks,

Tom
