Better to use 'ebgp multihop' and peer to provider router's loopback. Then have equal cost static routes to provider's loopback via the two physical interface next hop IP addresses.

Setup is as follows; 2 edge routers, each with a BGP session receiving full routes to the same provider router. The provider is load balancing inbound traffic to our AS nicely, 50/50 between the edge routers.. I would also like to load balance the outbound traffic.. I've considered adding 'maximum-paths 2' to install the two equal paths, but an concerned about FIB TCAM impacts. Will adding this command cause each equal cost route to take one additional TCAM entry, i.e. full routing table x 2 > 524k TCAM limit = EPIC meltdown?



Current FIB TCAM:
