 - **Default**: Each EP rank has `NUM_TOTAL_EXPERTS ÷ NUM_EP_RANKS` experts
 - **With redundancy**: Each EP rank has `(NUM_TOTAL_EXPERTS + NUM_REDUNDANT_EXPERTS) ÷ NUM_EP_RANKS` experts
 
+### Memory Footprint Overhead
+
+EPLB uses redundant experts to that need to fit in GPU memory. This means that EPLB may not be a good fit for memory constrained environments or when KV cache space is at a premium.
+
+This overhead equals `NUM_MOE_LAYERS * BYTES_PER_EXPERT * (NUM_TOTAL_EXPERTS + NUM_REDUNDANT_EXPERTS) ÷ NUM_EP_RANKS`.
+For DeepSeekV3, this is approximately `2.4 GB` for one redundant expert per rank.
