Howdy,

If you have several transit providers connected to your network and much of 
your traffic is generally directed by the "BGP tiebreaker" (i.e. lowest IP 
address) is there a way, without specifying on a per-prefix basis to prefer the 
"tie breaker winner" slightly less often? I don't want to "completely flip" the 
preference so that it just saturates a different link, I am just trying to see 
if there is any good way to influence the "natural" selection method.

We have 6 transit providers, and Level3 always wins because it is 4/8, normally 
this isn't a problem because we have traffic engineering systems (route 
science/avaya) which move traffic away from that link, but if we need to reboot 
the RS, or something catastrophic happens we would like it to spread out a 
little more evenly.

Anyone have any thoughts on this? 

-Drew
