Hi, Thanks for your inputs. However i need to know what do u mean by "turning off OSPF on those shortcuts " and also wht is ECMP?. I am running MPLS but not for the particular traffic that needs to be load balanced. So i need to do load balancing for unequal cost paths for a traffic in an IP cloud that is being advertised over OSPF. DO i still need to turn off OSPF? regards, Salman.

JunOS will see them as 2 completely identical paths to the end-device, and load-balance across them. Enable ECMP load balancing: routing-options { forwarding-table { export load-balancing-policy; } } policy-options { policy-statement load-balancing-policy { then { load-balance per-packet; } } Note that "load-balancing per-packet" is a misnomer, and a holdover back to the Internet Processor #1 on the original M40/M20. We actually do per-flow load balancing when this is enabled; so as not to upset the path/timings/order of things like VoIP RTP packets. - Chris. ____________________________________ Chris Kawchuk ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Systems Engineering, Service Providers Juniper Networks Inc., Canada local: +1 (403) 470-8174 toll-free: +1 (866) 470-8174 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hamid Ahmed Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2007 9:25 AM To: juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net Subject: [j-nsp] load balancing between juniper routers for unequal cost path Hi Everyone, CAn anyone suggest me how to load balancing between juniper routers for unequal cost paths.
