Another thing to keep in mind that some providers will use local pref. as w=
ell for traffic engineering,
Looking at the TW Telecom Community strings, it would appear that they do..=
.
http://www.onesc.net/communities/as4323/
http://www.onesc.net/communities/as3356/
Try using the communities to influence your traffic engineering.
BTW, I took a quick look at Routeviews looking glass for you ...
Here is what I see....
8.37.93.0/24 is only being advertised via your TW Telecom connection .... (=
Possible Filters issues with Level3 ?)
207.114.212.0/24 is being advertised via both TW Telecom and Level3.. and i=
n case of Routeviews, it is preferring the Level3 connection.
The above is for inbound traffic only...
For outbound, if you want to use both connections, then you will have to cr=
eate an ACL to change the Local Pref so that you can use one or the other p=
rovider as the preferred route.
