Hi all,
I was looking in Caslows book, "BRS" for some unequal load balancing in
OSPF, and found this. Does redistrubution and administrative distance have
something to do with this? It states, "The different values of a routing
protocol's administrative distance can create an ideal environment for
routing loops formation". Or am I way off again?
Thanks,
Dale

Unequal cost load-balancing is only available using IGRP and E-IGRP due to
the metric variance capability. OSPF has no means of allowing this as the
protocol is only able to support equal cost load-balancing, which goes by
the name of Equal Cost Multipath in the world of OSPF. Cisco also supports
this using RIP, although this is a proprietary enhancement. OSPF has direct,
standards-based support for this, but not for unequal cost routing.
