Here's something to chew on. As an end-node site who has recently become triply-homed I've been wondering whether it would be useful if routers had a way of making a route selection based on output queue levels.
Not. That will cause reordering of packets, and so trigger false TCP retransmits.
Ie., let's say I have 2 paths to a destination of equal as-path distance through neighbor A and neighbor B. Based on recent discussion it sounds like IOS will send the packet to the neighbor with the lowest IP address.
Not. This is a default tie-breaking rule in cisco's BGP implementation, and doesn't have anything to do with packet forwarding. --vadim - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
