Hi all,
  I am having a BGP problem, and I am not sure how to solve it. Like Jeff
Doyle's book says: BGP is not a difficult problem, the problem is the
scenario. This is the scenario that I have:



       -------------------
       | I N T E R N E T  |
       -------------------
       |Link A          |Link B
       |                |
    -------  Link E   -------
    | AS 1 |  ------ | AS 3 |
    --------         --------
       |Link C         | Link D
       |               |
       --------------------
       |     I am here    |
       --------------------




When all links are up everything works fine.

The problem is: When Link "B" goes down, there is not any traffic on Link D.
In this case Link C gets full and my customer start to call me!. I know it
is because there is one more AS hop to reach AS 1, one of the BGP metrics is
the amount of AS hops between links. I can manually add one or two prepends
for AS 3 and the traffic goes ok, I am taking advantage of Link E

My question is: Is there any way that this can be done automaticly?, do I
have to use BGP communities?

Thanks in advanced, any approach is appreciated.

Alejandro Acosta
