Likewise, http://www.calweb.com/cgi-bin/trace has existed for quite a while. One of my next goals is to start saving traceroute data that it gets it with, and have it build a map with the given data.. Hard part will be making it pretty when starting with just ascii data :-). >> >traceroute url: >> >http://www.cwix.net/cgi-bin/trace -- Jason Fesler jfesler(a)calweb.com Internic: 'whois jf319' Admin, CalWeb Internet Services http://www.calweb.com Junk email returned, in bulk, back to sender; w/copies to all postmasters.

This is pretty much consistent with flow-data that I have seen from other places in the net. - paul At 12:04 PM 12/15/96 -0700, Brett D.

This is a default tie-breaking rule in cisco's BGP implementation, and doesn't have anything to do with packet forwarding. --vadim

As soon as one interface becomes more loaded than the other, what decision process are you going to make to move only a small amount of traffic to the other interface? If you don't do this in small steps, then you will surely experience an oscillation between the two (or three) interfaces as the lowest load interface immediately becomes the highest loaded interface due to the decision to send traffic that way instead. Also, remember that not only do you have to make the decision on your side, but you also must let your peers know that you want your incoming traffic to move also. So you now must have some method of advertising your desires to the rest of the world. Currently your best choice is to manually develop route-maps which will balance both incoming and outgoing traffic on each interface. I definately have some thoughts on the above idea, and how something like that may be accomplished, but they are so very undeveloped that this is not the time or place to display my lack of knowledge. I'd prefer to put it all down on "paper" somewhere and then submit the idea if anyone who really understands all this is interested. I'm sure none of my ideas are original. Chris A. Icide Nap.Net
