Hello,
Looking for feedback/suggestions on a design issue. We have a two ethernet
connections in a port channel between two Cisco routers (ASR1k),
unfortunately we only have one unique flow between traversing the
ether/port channel, so traffic is pinned to just one link.
I'm looking for options including whether one of the algorithms available
for CEF is able to make a load sharing decision if I expose some upper
layer information such as DSCP/ToS to CEF to provide unique flows?
I also have been considering MLPPPoE, but it does not seem to support more
than one member link from what I can tell.
Appreciate thoughts and suggestions.
Best,
-Doug
