Sometimes As prepending won't work.. your best bet is to telnet to route-views.oregon-ix.net (public route server) and do a show ip bgp with your as # (then you will know who is using your prepended path to get there. Most likely one peer of your backup link providers, sets local pref or metric on a private peering arrangement, thereby nullifying your prepends. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do.. if you were a hi-cap T-3 or larger customer, they might traffic engineer this for you.

In this moment we have one Internet link with just one provider, now, we have got a second link just for backup. I mean, we can only use it for 180 hrs per month. I can easily manage my outgoing traffic (using local preferece or weight), however the incomming traffic in more difficult. I added many prepends (9) in the publication of the second link but there still few traffic on it. There is not IBGP between my two providers. Any ideas? Thks in advanced.
