Hello David, From JUNOS Release 8.2 Features http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/junos/junos82/rn-sw-82/rn-new-features.html#rn-new-features
in the VPN's section: Aggregated Ethernet interfaces for VPLS routing instances—You can configure aggregated Ethernet interfaces between CE devices and PE routers for VPLS routing instances. Traffic is load-balanced in two ways: * If the next hop of VPLS packets to the next CE device is aggregated Ethernet, load balancing is based on the input interface. The router picks one of the child members to forward the flow. By default, load balancing of learned traffic takes place using the input interface. * Learned traffic from a different MAC flow originating from the same aggregated Ethernet input interface. In this case, to load balance traffic across all the links on the interface, configure the forwarding-options hash-key source-mac destination-mac statement at the [edit interfaces ae number] hierarchy level. hope it helps, Daniel David Ball wrote: > In looking through the docs regarding aggregated Ethernet > interfaces, I was uncertain about a couple things and figured I'd ask > here. > > We're using T640s and 8-port IQ2 Gig PICs, and I'm looking to > aggregate 2-3 ports facing a customer's Cisco 4506 (running IOS, not > CatOS).
