Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts as to the best practices of
running multiple backbone links between 2 routers. In the past we've added
additional links as needed, then simply enabled IS-IS when they were good to
go. I'd then let IS-IS handle load balancing the traffic over the two
links. But I know that others out there would setup a LAG once they had
more than one link between two routers. Is there a best practice? Does it
matter? Any implications to a MPLS setup?
Thanks
