Using BGP would you not be limited to sending certain /24's down certain interfaces and the like? It would be a rough load balance of sorts? > On Dec 14, 2016, at 3:09 PM, Sean Heskett <[email protected]> wrote: > > In my opinion anytime you need more than 1gbps just order a 10gig circuit > and purchase 1 or 2 gig burstable. > > The only time you wouldn't do this is if you want path diversity.
