Re: [isp-bgp] Multihoming to the same ISP (Sprint) - using AS1790 rather than private ASN

[Joe Shen <jshen.cad@...>]

Reading those post on the list, I come to see BGP multipath could be
used to achive load balancing for egress traffic on two links to the
same ISP.

And, for ingress traffic we have to use AS_PATH, communicty, MED or so
with careful design on BGP announcing.

my question:

if I have two or three links to the same ISP,  bandwidth on each link
is different from each other,  how could we get load balancing for
both ingress and egress traffic?

Why does Sprint reserve a ASN for its customers ?
