RE: (ASCEND) Load balancing with GRF



Looks like we are advertising half our routes up one and half up the
other. I'm not very versed in BGP, but it was explained like this: They
are doing a packet by packet load balancing on their end and we are doing
more of a streaming load balance for upstream. She said there were
arguements for doing it either way (cisco proprietary protocol is the
other way) and since most of our traffic is coming in, their box would
really be doing most of the load balancing, which made sense to me.
