Bug Description

Hello,

Could we get support for ECMP added to netplan ?

Something which would do :

ip route replace default proto static scope global \
    nexthop dev ens2f0 via 192.168.0.1 weight 1 \
    nexthop dev ens2f1 via 192.168.10.1 weight 1

ip -6 route replace default proto static scope global \
    nexthop dev ens2f0 via 2001:db8:a::1 weight 1 \
    nexthop dev ens2f1 via 2001:db8:b::1 weight 1

It would appear that systemd-networkd implements this via nexthop groups only :
https://systemd.network/systemd.network.html#%5BNextHop%5D%20Section%20Options
https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man8/ip-nexthop.8.html

Thanks !
