load balancing? hmmm..

yup... you'll be load balancing using the default route to different
destinations...

don't play around with ip ranges just run the normal per destination load
balancing... could one guy with a porno download kill one provider? you bet,
but then you should be using qos to prevent this kind of stuff.

Thank you JOe by the Kind response,

in that case appear that I can use the 1841,

Just, I was wondering if I receive a default routes from both different ISP,
then I will have appropiate load balancing? how?

I know that if you recieve both default routes the router by default will
use per destination load balancing, or I need to go to a balance base in
range of networks (one range for ISP 1 (0.0.0.0 to 126.255.255.255) an
range for ISP 2 (128.0.0.0.0 223.255.255.255).

Thank again

Victor

you don't need to "handle" bgp more than the session... just accept default

routes from your providers in this scenario... an 1841 should work fine - IF

you only need limited interfaces... if you want more flexibility I would

recommend the 2811 with a 4 port fastherwic.

Hi Group,

I have to decide about a router for multihoming with two different ISP using

BGP.

Currently we have the possibility to use a router 1841 for that, but I was

looking for a documentation in order to ensure that router have enough

performance to handle BGP in that way.

Somebody know info about that or where I can find it, I will appreciate.

Thank You in advance by your help Group

Victor
