PFR Based Load Balancing

[Dipesh Patel]

Dear experts,

Can you suggest how pfr will be configured for the load balancing?

I have some queries regarding the same:

• I have two MPLS links from two different SP. Both terminated on independent CE routers. Can We configure one CE router as BR and MC?
  
• If I configure pfr for loadbalacning it may have chance of assymetroc routing. Will it be affect GETVPN?
  
• Please suggest the iOS which will spport GETVPN and PFR as we are on the verge of implementing GETVPN and pfr.
  
• Is there any specificimpact on resource utilization after impmentation of pfr?
  

I am attaching here the topology for your refference. Kindly suggest the design and configuration, which router I should configure as a BR and which one as a MC?

Hi

answers to you questions as bellow

- yes you can have both BR and MC on the same router

- PfR is routing feature while GETVPN is security feature if you have licensing for routing and security then you can have bot on the same router

- i suggest you to do a prove of concept for this PfR as i think it depends on the policies you have in the PfR, how much your routing flap, link utilization ..etc

- if you have assymetric routing i think it could effect the vpn interms of encrypt and decrypte the traffic
