EIGRP Equal Cost Load-Balancing

EIGRP Equal Cost Load-Balancing

in the display below, I would like to know if R1 will reach network 4.4.4.4  in Load-balancing way.. I mean one packet will go out of fa0/0 and another fa0/1.
How is  load-balancing done in the equal cost ?

Thank you

but how is the traffic load-balanced.
is it  like one packet will  go out of  fa0/0 and the other packet will  go out of fa0/1 ?

Default is per destination

In theory then:

Stream 1 goes through path A
Stream 2 through path B
Stream 3 through A
4 through B
Etc

That said, there are other underlying influencers that can affect the actual traffic flow at any given time.
