Abstract:
The DMZ Link Bandwidth draft provides a way to load-balance traffic
to a destination which is reachable via more than one path according
to the weight attahced. Typically, the link bandwidth (either
configured on the link of the EBGP egress interface or set via a
policy) is encoded in an extended community and then sent to the IBGP
peer that employs multi-path. The link-bandwidth value is then
extracted from the extended community and is used as a weight in the
RIB/FIB, which does the load-balancing. This draft extends the usage
of the DMZ link bandwidth to another setting where the ingress BGP
speaker requires knowledge of the cumulative bandwidth while doing
the load-balancing. The draft also proposes neighbor-level knobs to
enable the link bandwidth extended community to be regenerated and
then advertised to EBGP peers to override the default behavior of not
advertising optional non-transitive attributes to EBGP peers.
