What is the real address, I understand if your reticent to provide it but is it part of a larger CIDR block from the other provider? If so and the satellite provider is announcing a more specific /24 then all traffic will come over the satellite link. there is much info missing to really help

Most of the traffic is arriving via the provider your doing BGP with and is via this one block of ip with a /24 e.g 1.1.1.0/24 I am seeing almost 100% utilisation via the satellite down-link (1st provider running BGP) and very minimum traffic at the second provider( terrestrial) running default

You have no way of influencing via BGP the inbound routes since your using a private AS on one link and default on the other. You need to work with your providers if you wish to have incoming traffic to your network influenced one way or the other. suaveguru wrote: > > hi all > > I have been c
