>>The problems are as follows: When connecting to two different ISP's there is no way to acheive load balancing. True IME. BGP was never designed with that in mind. If both circuits go to the same carrier you can balance using the "maximum paths" command. You can fudge the prefs for the different paths using various metrics (MEDs, Communities, etc) but it's not true load balancing.. just redistributing the load. >>You may find it sufficient to go with 1 larger ISP and two internet connections to them. If you do this, try your best to get loop diversity, POP diversity and also geographical diversity. (don't run to 2 pops in the same city) Many folks get 1 or 2 of these 3 but IMHO (and in my experience) it is crucial to have all 3 working for you. - Joe ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
