Performing load balancing this way is very unpredictable. When you do this
within your own network (ie. intra-as) you have full control and knowledge
over the possible paths. Though this will work, performance will vary, and
potentially fail if one of the providers goes down.

Subject: [nsp] Multi-Homing without BGP
Importance: High
Hi,
I would like to know if a default routing for multiple providers works as a
basic solution for Multi-Homing.
The customer has a low-end router and the step 1 would be add default routes
in the way to both increase outbound bandwidth to the Internet and
redundancy that multi-homing provides.
The configuration would be something like:
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 @provider1
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 @provider2
int s0
ip route-cache
int s1
ip route-cache
Having two default routes with equal metric, both routes will be installed
in the Cisco´s IP routing table and the load balancing would be done on a
per-connection basis.
Is this the right way to do that ?
I would like to know about your experience with this kind of solution.
Best Regards,
José Ricardo Bastos Ferreira
