Load Balancing 2 Routes

Oct 17, 2005 2 Replies

Hi, I'm running BGP with my upstreams. I have a 10MEG pipe from Qwest I have a 45MEG pipe from Sprint



I'm running about 10meg on each at the moment. What can I do with weighting, prepending, etc to get more traffic to go out Sprint, so that the Qwest pipe does not get saturated?


If you know some prefixes you network is sending a lot of traffic to, you could assign them a higher local preference through Sprint.

You could try to figure out your output traffic matrix with Netflow.
