Aggregate traffic management

Dear NANOGers, I have a very hands-on question: Suppose I am a network operator for a decent-sized ISP, and I decide that I want to "divide" aggregate traffic flowing through a router toward some destination, in order to then send some of it through one route and the remainder through another route. Thus, I desire to enforce some traffic engineering decision. How would I be able to accomplish this "division"? What technologies (even if vendor-specific) would I use? I can think of some methods like prefix-matching classification and ECMP, but I am still not sure exactly how the latter works in practice (at the router level) and how one may set them up to achieve such load-sharing. Thank you for your expertise and lore, -- Stanislav Rost <stanrost () lcs mit edu> Laboratory for Computer Science, MIT
