Andrew is certainly thankful for any feedback! Ok, that's great info. Thanks guys.> > I can't speak for ECMP. That's a pity, we've had lots of issues when running redundant setups with VRRP, where VRRP tried to add the same route (on another interface) before the failed/old one got deleted (by OSPFd). This resulted in a faillure to add the new route, afterwards OSPF deletes the 'old' route, and you end up with no valid route at all.This is one of the major problems people are experiencing when running GNU/Zebra/Quagga in a redundant setup afaik. Current fixes in those circles consist of dirty hacks, such as shutting down and restarting OSPFd whenever VRRP acts. I feel it should be possible to resolve this at kernel level, eliminating the need for userlevel hacks.So i'll simply repeat the proposal: anyone willing to develop support for ECMP (or just routes with metrics on them, not doing ECMP, but allowing multiple routes to the same prefix, on different/the same interface, with unique metrics)?As stated before, I'm very much willing to sponsor its development.> > > > LACP is supported by ng_fec.

Well, when referring to not liking the NetGraph approach, i was specifically talking about NG_ONE2MANY(4) - which is a dirty hack (imho) to have some of the goodies of ECMP support.I'm not seeing ng_fec on freebsd4.11, but 5.x is an option, so problem solved with regards to LACP.Kind regards,Met vriendelijke groet / With kind regards,Bart Van [EMAIL PROTECTED]
