I am experiencing a similar problem, using one provider with two T1s. Utilization appears to significantly favor one interface over the other. I realize there will be some variation, but considering its a discrepancy of 75% vs. 3% (these are numbers from our provider).... I've talked to the provider; each time I receive a different configuration.
Is there a command that would better show the load balancing/utilization rates. I'm trying to become more familiar with BGP through my CCNP studies, but haven't gotten that far yet.... Thanks in advance for the help! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Michael Jablonski ABN AMRO Asset Management Holdings, Inc. 161 North Clark St. 9th Flr Chicago, IL 60601-2468 PH: 312.884.2996 FAX: 312.278.5550 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -----Original Message----- From: Michael Bray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 2:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: BGP route selection question [7:42456] I have a router that is running BGP to two different providers... When I show the bgp entry for two different routes, it shows that one provider is selected for one route, and the other provider is selected for the other route, even though they seem to have the same AS path length from each provider. There isn't any difference as far as I can tell for MED or local preference settings or anything like that... The route on the bottom looks normal - its being chosen (I assume) because the 64.*.*.* has the lower router ID (207.* instead of 208.*). The first entry is the one that doesn't make sense to me - shouldn't it also be selecting the 64.* router, by virtue of its lower ID? I see that there are different values for the "version", but I'm not sure this would have anything to do with it?? rtr#show ip bgp 64.170.96.0/19 BGP routing table entry for 64.170.96.0/19, version 16127 Paths: (2 available, best #2, table Default-IP-Routing-Table) Not advertised to any peer 4323 1239 5673 64.132.248.89 from 64.132.248.89 (207.67.76.17) Origin IGP, localpref 100, valid, external 3561 1239 5673 208.174.151.61 from 208.174.151.61 (208.172.66.20) Origin IGP, localpref 100, valid, external, best rtr#show ip bgp 12.3.59.0 BGP routing table entry for 12.3.59.0/24, version 742 Paths: (2 available, best #2, table Default-IP-Routing-Table) Not advertised to any peer 3561 4513 17304 208.174.151.61 from 208.174.151.61 (208.172.66.20) Origin IGP, localpref 100, valid, external 4323 4513 17304 64.132.248.89 from 64.132.248.89 (207.67.76.17) Origin IGP, localpref 100, valid, external, best ip classless ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 208.174.151.61 ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 64.132.248.89 ip as-path access-list 78 permit ^$ -Mike Bray [EMAIL PROTECTED] This message (including any attachments) is confidential and may be privileged.
