/**
 * \brief
 * The load-balance object represents an ECMP choice. The buckets of a load
 * balance object point to the sub-graph after the choice is made.
 * THe load-balance object is also object type returned from a FIB table lookup.
 * As such it needs to represent the case where there is only one coice. It may
 * seem like overkill to use a load-balance object in this case, but the reason
 * is for performance. If the load-balance object were not the result of the FIB
 * lookup, then some other object would be. The case where there was ECMP
 * this other object would need a load-balance as a parent and hence just add
 * an unnecessary indirection.
 *
 * It is also the object in the DP that represents a via-fib-entry in a recursive
 * route.
