Hi
Thank you all of you
Can I have one question?
We are planning to have 3 x 1G bgp connections (full tables) eg: Path A, B, C
Can I say that we have 3G output totally?
From my understanding, the bgp chooses the best path to route automatically
If the path A is best route and that path 1G bandwidth is used up,
will bgp try to use path B and path C automatically?
or the bgp still choose to path A whatever the bandwidth is used up
How can I use up those 3G?
Thank you so much
PS: my platform is linu
