[isp-bgp] Re: Outbound Balancing
Any references on doing this? I've seen lots of examples of prefixing my advertised path but non on padding my inbound path. I figured that's what I needed to do but I'm just unsure how to do it.

Thanks,
Serge.

I'm currently Multihomed with 2 ISPs and most of my traffic is outbound. My inbound traffic is about a 70/30 ISP-B/ISP-A split which isn't to
bad but since the acctualy volume is low I'm not to concerned.

What does concern me is my outbound. I'm about a 90/10 ISP-B/ISP-A
split on my outbound traffic.

My main router is a 2691 with 256megs ram. It has a BGP session to
ISP-A and an EBGP-Multihope session to ISP-B.

Is there a reliable/easy way to balance outbound traffic 50/50? Lacking
that what are my options of getting myself closer to 50/50?

I'd build (or "upgrade") a route map "inbound" from ISP-B. Prepend their AS to the routes you're receiving from them; most likely this will start to shift the balance towards ISP-A. If one prepend puts you too far past 50/50, you may need to start doing the prepending selectively based on individual ASes that ISP-B connects to, and/or start adjusting local preference based on those individual ASes that are your providers' upstreams.
