Re: [j-nsp] load balancing between juniper routers for unequal cost path

hi Andy, Thanks for the detailed email. However i could get a better understanding if u can send me configuration snapshot. My intended traffic will use MPLS in the future but for time being i need to know if i can deploy GRE tunnels to compensate for OSPF unequal cost paths and then try load-ba

Also with GRE tunnels you may run into MTU problems. At last with MPLS you won't have that pro Chuck Anderson wrote: > On Thu, Nov 08, 2007 at 08:39:23AM -0800, Hamid Ahmed wrote: > > >> 2) You are giving the explanation for equal cost paths. However in >> my case there are two unequal co

Hi Hamid, To control (or engineer) where you want traffic to go, you simply introduce MPLS LSPs. The beauty of MPLS is its *Traffic Engineering*characteristics. You can decide EXACTLY where you want your traffic to go. So, if you have 2 unequal paths, and you wish to load-balance between the 2,

Hi Andy, Thanks for your reply. 1) Can u send me a sample configuration of what u are saying with a brief explanation of your scenario? 2) You are giving the explanation for equal cost paths. However in my case there are two unequal cost paths. So my question still how can u do that in us

Hi Hamid, To expand on Chris's explanation, ECMP is Equal Cost Multi-Path, which allows for the use of 2 (or more) equal cost path at the same time; Load balancing the traffic between the different paths. As Chris also mentioned, this load balancing is done per flow and not per packet, so you don'

Hi, Its LAyer 3 load balancing. The traffic intended for load-balancing does is on pure IP with OSPF running and having unequal cost paths regards, Salman. GAY Samuel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, Which kind of load balancing do you want to do ? layer 3 ? layer 4 ? Are you on a MPLS
