Detailed explanation-1: -If equal-cost paths exist to the same destination, the Cisco implementation of OSPF can keep track of up to 16 next hops to the same destination in the routing table (which is called load balancing). By default, the Cisco router supports up to four equal-cost paths to a destination for OSPF.
Detailed explanation-2: -By default, OSPF allows the installation of up to 4 multiple paths of a single network with identical metrics. This number may be increased to a maximum of 16. Maximum-paths default setting varies depending on router platform.
