I know this is bad form, and very wasteful We are bringing up a primary redundancy link today that will affect a large portion of the network. we dont have alot of customers who connect to one another. our accounting (powercode BMU) all takes place at our provider edges. Is there a filtering trick within OSPF to make all our customer traffic destined for our customer IP space traverse the network to the edge and back (same subnet excluded)?
I would prefer this be the default action on our network with explicit customer allowances. I cant see any way of doing this on a straight layer three OSPF network if the default route forces the traffic to traverse the router housing the destination -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
