traffic-load distribution

[rmalta]

I have one router in the customer environment with two links. Each link is connected to the same ISP in differents points. I would like to distribute the traffic between the links per-application, not per-destination. For example, the web traffic will be send to link1 and the e-mail traffic will be send to link2. How can I configure this scenario using BGP?

on cisco routers, you have 2 types of loadbalancing.

per-packet or per-destination.

With cef enable you can control which one you want with the command 'ip load-sharing ...'

To have loadbalancing, you need to have 2 or more routes for the same destination.

With BGP, if you have 1 router connected to 2 routers of the same ISP, you can use the command 'max-path 2' in order to have outgoing loadbalancing.
