how to influence upstream BGP routers to control BGP path

[rhienwei2010]

Probably a lame question:

I have two routers connecting to two ISPs individually on BGP(same AS# at my side), I want to control which ISP link the Internet users will use to connect me.  How can I do that?  How can I control my BGP advertising to upstream so make one link is prefered to my IP subnet?

Thanks a lot.

In this situation, AS Prepending may be prefered. Configure your non-preferred link by prepending your AS number a couple of times and apply outbound to your peer:

ip prefix-list LessPreferred permit 192.168.1.0/24

route-map LessPreferred permit 10

match ip address prefix LessPreferred

set as-path prepend

route-map LessPreferred permit 20

router bgp

neighbor route-map LessPreferred out

When the neighbor gets the advertisement from you, the less preferred route will have a longer as path and will be less preferred than the path through the other neighbor.
