Dear NANOGers,

Suppose I am a network operator for a decent-sized ISP, and I decide
that I want to "divide" aggregate traffic flowing through a router
toward some destination, in order to then send some of it through one
route and the remainder through another rou

It can be done several ways, but the question is "how are you
differentiating"?
This is an incomplete list of methods for differentiating, each of
which is supported by one or more vendors or open-source solutions:

Stanislav,
It depends what control mechanism you are using:
o routes learned via an IGP - ECMP would work and if it's a single
destination host, per-packet loadbalancing between the outgoing
links is your only practical choice; rest of ECMP schemes work
