Multihoming is great for when there is a total outage. In the case of Cogent on Monday, it wasnt "down"... In this case, there is only so much you can do to influence how packets come back at you as BGP doesnt know anything about a "lossy" or slow connections.

Take the carrier that is causing you issues out of your eBGP setup and all's well....
Hi, In my case, I have 6453 and 174 for transit. I want to get to 577 which is directly connected to 6453 and 174. 577 has a higher local pref on paths via 174. Short of shutting my 174 session (or some deaggregation), I dont have a way to influence how 577 gets back to me. I can easily exit out 6453, but it does nothing for the return packets. I have enough capacity on 6453 to handle all my traffic, but its a Draconian step to take and some traffic via 174 is fine and would be worse if I fully shut the session. (ie. peers of 174 in Toronto) ---Mike
