Hello My friends..!

is it more effective than PCC and other..?
what is the down side and also the up side for it ..?

You almost certainly don’t want to use it for TCP traffic is the main thing – it divides things by packets, not connections. If you have UDP traffic, which may not care about the src-address changing, it may be helpful to more evenly divide load, especially if it’s all going to one place. For example, if the traffic is UDP-based tunnel to single end-point, Nth break up the packets between multiple WAN/uplinks. PCC, ECMP or connection-based things are more problematic in this UDP VPN case, since it won’t divide load if you have a single port VPN tunnel at the other end.
But Nth (or an packet-based load balancing) can break some applications/protocols, that’s not good for generic approach… why you don’t see it as often used.
NTH will probably be fine if you encapsulate all your traffic in Wiregaurd - so can be practical depending on your situation.
