 At the same time, it requires a BGP speaker on the host, which may not be feasible in all environments and introduces another routing protocol and stack to the host. So, as always, evaluate the trade-offs and choose the model that fits your environment best.
 
+With PE-CE protocol configured and BGP Add Path enabled, it is possible to achieve multuhoming and load balancing of the traffic between CE devices. The load balancing will be done purely on L3 level using ECMP where CE devices will advertise the same prefixes to the different leafs and therefore the remote CE devices will have multiple paths to reach the advertised prefixes.

 We hope this was a fun configration marathon, and you enjoyed getting through this lab? Let's wrap it up with a quick [summary](summary.md).

+/// details | Route Summarization
+In a real-world scenario, you would see more routes being exchanged, especially if you have multiple clients connected to the leaf switches. A good design practice is to summarize the routes on the leaf switches to reduce the number of routes exchanged between the leafs and the spine and mimimize the control plane churn when new host routes are added/removed.
+
+Route summarization is not covered in this tutorial, but it should be not that complicated to add it!
