I found I had to do this many years ago on some Cisco routers to get them to load balance (per packet) across two links. Adding 0.0.0.0/0 routes across both links just resulted in traffic routing across one link. Broke it into two /1's per link and it worked perfectly. On 24 September 2011 02:12,

Well considering that native multicast isn't enabled end to end Internet wide, and class E address space isn't used, it's more like half your IPv4 Internet goes one way, and ~38% goes the other way... :-b Stefan Fouant JNCIE-M, JNCIE-ER, JNCIE-SEC, JNCI Technical Trainer, Juniper Networks Follo

Protection against learning a bad default route through whatever routing protocol they are learning, since these two routes would be more specific than any typical default route. They probably got burned learning a default route. On Sep 23, 2011, at 7:12 PM, Glen Kent wrote: > Hi, > > I have

Strange static route

2011-09-23 Thread Glen Kent
Hi, I have seen a few operators adding static routes like: 0.0.0.0/1 some next-hop and 128.0.0.0/1 some next-hop. Why would anyone want to add such static routes? What does 0.0.0.0/1 mean. Note that the netmask is 1 and not 0. Thanks, Glen
