Hi Vlade,
Well, if you are trying to balance the incoming traffic load with =
local-pref attribute, I can understand your disappointment :)
Since it doesn't work at all this way: local-pref is local to an AS and =
deals with outgoing traffic only.
> B) We have our own AS and IP space. I advertise them to both Cogent =
and our other ISP. I use the local preference attribute to share the =
load for incoming traffic between both ISPs. In the last 5 outages over =
the last few years, this has happened twice. I'm waiting on the RFO so I =
can further investigate why this happened. I think someone mentioned =
this in a post a few months ago too.
