To quote the man page for ip, it looks like the balancing is not per 
packet as you indicate, but rather per-flow.

"""equalize - allow packet by packet randomization on multipath routes. 
  Without this  modifier,  the  route  will  be frozen  to one selected 
nexthop, so that load splitting will only occur on per-flow base. 
equalize only works if the kernel is patched."""
