We're doing BGP to announce our PI space and make sure that our PI space is reachable through both ISPs in case one link goes down. This is the primary need to do the BGP here. Unfortunately my boss has requested that we make use of the capacity of both links, rather than pref traffic out of the higher capacity link.
Understood! you would _still_ take default BGP routes, I was implying more along the lines (in cisco speak): ! Tweak as necessary to get a good balance ip route 0.0.0.0 128.0.0.0 <peer1> ip route 128.0.0.0 128.0.0.0 <peer2> Set up SLA tracking on the peer IPs to retract the routes if either peer goes down. Either that or get more RAM on your router and go the BGP-only method. -Randy
