Level 1
We have two p2p links from diffrent ISP in between our data center and our HO, connected on two different routers at both ends, we want to load balance traffic on these two links from both ends. We are using static routing and HSRP for failover. 

Please help

Hi

You said you're doing static routing and hsrp, are you managing routers at both ends?
Are those links L2 services or pure L3?
Depending on how these links are managed and what devices you have access to, you can also think about glbp, obviously if there are Cisco devices.

Thanks

you can look into policy based routing to do some sort of balancing between the two links. seeing you are using static routing, this is probably your easiest option

What kind of Datacentre is this  Private / Public (what kind of Services offer) ? How big is the Link Capacity.?

 

As suggested you can do Load Share for the best utilisiation of the links so cost can be recovered, rather making Active / Standby links.

Ok then glbp method is one showing you doing kind of load balancing.
