AS Prepends don't work so well now-a-days. We have 3 full BGP feeds and keeping them balanced (incoming traffic) is quite a chore. It can be done, but it takes using communities and other BGP tricks. It would be worth finding a BGP Guru that can do some BGP magic and paying them a couple hundre

Prepending is no longer the desirable solution and should only be used if your upstreams don't support a better way. The preferred way is to adjust local preference based on a route policy. You can simply prefer your fiber circuit if you want or adjust it on an AS basis. You will likely only wa

2010-01-17 Thread Scott Vander Dussen
On a single ImageStream router we have two circuits: DS3 @ 45mb/s Fiber @ 100mb/s The DS3 is routed more efficiently (less hops) and the fiber less efficient (more hops). Since the BGP is routing traffic based upon number of hops to final destination only, the DS3 gets 95+% of all our internal
