situation goes this way R1--------Receive-Only-------R2---------Terrestrial gw | | Transmit-Only
In the diagram as shown R1 is a router running on Service Provider side R2 is a router running on customer side customer bought a 2mbps down-link from provider (A satellite receive-only link) Customer also has a fiber terrestrial link to internet via another provider and it is default routed The reason why customer needs to buy a satellite receive-only link from another service provider is because the customer needs to off-load some return traffic from the internet which has been congesting on the terrestrial g/w Problem : After implementing the Satellite receive-only link from the second provider . I run BGP for the satellite-link using the terrestrial as the transmit-path for TCP connection. customer has only one block of Class C Address and when I advertise the whole class C over the satellite link it does off-load the terrestrial link for the return path but this time the satellite link get congested . I could not do a AS-PATH prepend as they are using Private-As and the provider is stripping private-as at their end My question is how can I solve this problem of load-balancing by introducing as shown in the diagram another satellite link from the same provider with only a transmit path ? appreicate your inputs suaveguru __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
