Java Solaris Logic to transmit traffic to physical interfaces ( eg ce0 and ce1)

Just wanted to understand what is the logic being used by Solaris(kernel) to transmit data/traffic on physical interfaces.

I have seen most of the time traffic is being sent to interface ce0 and sometime to ce1.

I have removed ip address from below command for some reason.

Code:
netstat -rn

Routing Table: IPv4
  Destination           Gateway           Flags  Ref   Use   Interface
-------------------- -------------------- ----- ----- ------ ---------
a.b.c.d               x.x.x.1              U        1 537552 ce1
a.d.e.d               x.x.x.2              U        1 809673 ce0

Trying to figured out the logic/algorithm used to send traffic/data. i have gone through couple of document and understand, when system transmit a packet, it must locate the "BEST" interface over which to sent it.

but not so cleared about the algorithm or logic behind,since most of the time it uses ce0 and sometimes it use ce1 how?


Your early response will be appreciated with detailed explanation about this logic.

Thanks
Nadeem
