What is Asymmetric Routing?
In Asymmetric routing, a packet traverses from a source to a destination in one path and takes a different path when it returns to the source. This is commonly seen in Layer-3 routed networks.
Asymmetric routing is when a packet returns on a patch that is different from a path that the traffic was sent. This can be seen in normal situations when there are multiple paths to/from a destination. It can also be seen in misconfiguration situations such as a server having two NIC's for load balancing and it's instead routing between them.
