[isp-bgp] Too much to ask

[Marcelo Moulin <reckor@...>]

Hello everyone !

   I'm a student of Computer Engineering at UNIFEI (www.unifei.edu.br) 
and i'm studying BGP as my graduate project.

   So, i'm using BGP to load balancing two ISP's but i have some doubts 
about it. I will be glad if you help me.

   The scheme of my network is:

   (ISP1) --> (3COM router)       --> (CISCO 7200 router) --> network
  
   (ISP2) --> (CISCO 3660 router) --> (CISCO 7200 router) --> network

  
Legend: ISP1 = link with 2 mb
       ISP2 = link with 2 mb

       3COM = router that receives "internet" from ISP1
       3660 = router that receives "internet" from ISP2

       CISCO 7200 = router connected with 3COM and 3660

       Network = a lot of clients requesting email, www etc


The Problem:

   CISCO 7200 needs to know how to load balance these two ISP's with 
network.

Questions:

1) I need to use BGP in this case? Is it the best option?

2) I will use netflow to understand what's going on in 7200. Any other idea?


   Well, that's it. Sorry boring you !

            Regards,

                        Marcelo
