I remember that route balancing has an option to perform per packet
balancing and not per connection. If that were to work, then route cache

would break connections especially in NAT'ted scenario.
To quote the man page for ip, it looks like the balancing is not per
packet as you indicate, but rather per-flow.
"""equalize - allow packet by packet randomization on multipath routes.
Without this modifier, the route will be frozen to one selected
nexthop, so that load splitting will only occur on per-flow base.
equalize only works if the kernel is patched."""
