Hello,
I am curious, if you have 2 unequal cost paths to a destination, can
you use route-map or policy routing to switch from the lowest cost to
the higher cost path when the lower reaches xxx load threshold?
Similar to bringing up a second line on a BRI with threshold. I figure
for those routing protocols that have Load in their metrics, it would do
it once the Load reached a cost where the metric for the 2nd path was
actually lower. And there is the variance command for load balancing in
EIGRP. Or would you have to figure it out by metrics only (say in OSPF)
and lower the bandwidth satement on your primary so that at that
particular xxx load, the cost would be lower on the secondary?
In response to a Howard like question, there is no problem I am trying
to solve. I was thinking about different ways to get packets down
different paths.
