Hi Everyone,

Have an ASR920 connected to an ME3600 with 2 x 1Gb links with same ospf cost 
(It was a single 1Gb, but secondary 1Gb was added as utilization was getting 
close to 1Gb) - Was hoping for at least a partial balance of traffic across the 
2 links, but egress from ASR920 to the ME3600(Ingress to customers), we are 
seeing one of the 1Gb links basically maxing out, and the other doing virtually 
nothing (10-15Mb/sec)...other direction we are seeing pretty much 50:50 balance 
across the 2 x 1Gb links....I know per-dest algorithm is used, and know that 
there are a only few big bandwidth users on the ME3600, but I cant understand 
why basically "all" of the traffic is going down one link?


Is there anyway to "tweak" the load-sharing of the equal cost paths (I can only 
see per-dst as an option)


Is a L3 etherchannel going to be any "better" with load-balancing than the 
current ospf equal cost?  (we have voip running over these links, so want to 
avoid packet delivery order issues)


Is TE a potential solution in this case?


We cant go 10G unfortunately, as the ME3600's dont have 10G ports unlocked, and 
they are earmarked for retirement - so stuck with multiple 1G links for a 
short-term fix 😞


Appreciate any feedback/suggestions.


Thanks
