7.15 Configuring BGP Load Balancing
Configuring BGP load balancing better utilizes network resources and reduces network
congestion.
Applicable Environment
On large networks, there may be multiple valid routes to the same destination. BGP, however,
advertises only the optimal route to its peers. This may result in unbalanced traffic on different
routes.
The following two methods can be used to address the problem of unbalanced traffic:
l
Use BGP routing policies to allow traffic to be balanced. For example, use a routing policy
to modify the Local_Pref, AS_Path, Origin, and Multi Exit Discriminator (MED) attributes
of BGP routes to direct traffic to different forwarding paths for load balancing. For details
on how to modify attributes of BGP routes, see
Configuring BGP Route Attributes
.
l
Use multiple paths for load balancing. In this method, multiple equal-cost routes need to
be configured for traffic load balancing.
NOTE
Equal-cost BGP routes can be generated for traffic load balancing only when the first 8 route attributes
described in "Route Selection Policies for Load Balancing" in
are the same, and the AS-Path attributes are also the same.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring BGP load balancing, complete the following task:
l
