Re: BGP

Hey garry,

To answer your query , i did a little of bit research at my end but i wanted
to know the answers from expert. Below is a short summary of load balancing
& load sharing what i understand:

Load balancing.

To my understanding all the routing protocols do equal cost load balancing
and it is only EIGRP that does unequal cost load balancing. But having said
that BGP has a feature through which you can do unequal cost load balancing.
the bgp dmz-link bw feature allows you to do unequal cost load balancing.
Note cost in this will be the bandwidth that you configure under the
specific ebgp interface.

Load sharing.

Load sharing can be done via the maximum path command under BGP process

Please feel free to chime in and ellaborate these if anyone wants.
