There are many methods, with the "best" to use being prepends and communities. The worst being chopping up prefixes.
I would spread your net as wide as you can for the best performance and stability across the greater Internet. *MOST IMPORTANT* Note that your traffic usage will be heavily influenced on how the top 5 networks (Netflix, Google, Microsoft, Akamai, Cloudflare, etc.) get to you.That'll make up 2/3rds of your total traffic. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Hoppes" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2020 5:44:30 PM Subject: [AFMUG] Multiple carriers I have a situation where I can buy several 1 gigabit pipes from several top tier carriers relatively inexpensively. Or I can buy one fat pipe from one carrier. Say I need 4 gigabits of bandwidth and have four 1 gigabit pipes from 4 carriers running BGP, is there a best way to load balance these? Just AS pre-pend subsets on each carrier so certain subnets prefer one over another? Or is there a better way? -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
