RE: Load balancing in routers
Does anybody know what are load balancing algorithms by most routers ? Where can I more information about this ? thanks Abhi oh hey, does anyone on this list know how to make cars go faster for most makes/models? heh, j/k ; you might want to check out rfc2991 and rfc2992. most routers are cisco routers, and they use cisco express forwarding for next-hop forwarding decisions along with ospf/isis/eigrp/bgp4/etc. this is commonly known as load balancing or load sharing or equal cost multipath (sometimes abbreviated as ECMP). cisco and other vendors have more information about how they do ECMP on their websites. I believe you can search their websites for even load balacing and come up with the information that you are looking for. if you are looking for source code that you can compile and play with, try zebra.org. -dre
RE: Qwest Transit
All ISP's selling transit ask for strict traffic ratios. How often do you think they get what they ask for? I would guess not very often. People like flat rate 95th% with no minimal commitment (both the seller and buyer) because that's easy to keep track of. Simplicity is king, again. Cogent's deals were to make things easy, right? I don't know what they charge, but anyone can see that an offer like 100Mbps for $10,000 a month makes sense in terms of simplicity (not saying it makes sense in terms of a transit provider making any money, tho) ; -dre -Original Message- From: Daniel Golding [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 08, 2002 6:52 PM To: 'Alex Rubenstein'; 'Gironda, Andre' Cc: 'Andy Dills'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Qwest Transit Hmm. Cogent does require some semi-strict traffic ratios to get the really good deals. If it's not violating an NDA, is Qwest asking for similar ones, these days? - Dan
