Right, I could define the preffered outbound traffic to a certain AS with localpref. However, I could not balance it, and did not find how I am supposed to. For example, I have a certain traffic outgoing to AS 4230, it was going via AS17379, and with localpref I could make it go via 18881. However, I need to balance it in the adequated ratio, say, make 40% of outgoing traffic to 4230 go via 1881 while 60% goes out via 17379. If you could point me to what to read, or suggest anything, thats what I need, some words from the experienced ones. > > > > > Eduardo Meyer wrote: > > I have another doubt. > > > > My peers have different bw connected to me, one peer is 20Mb/s and the > > other is 30Mb/s. > > > > I know I may be failing on some BGP concepts here, but this is my very > > first time implementing full routing with 2 peers.
