[c-nsp] Load Balancing With BGP

[Chris Strandt]

I have a semi automated way of load balancing our traffic across 
multiple providers, but I'm curious what else is available.  Its pretty 
painful to  re-balance at this point

I know Internap has an appliance that looks at network traffic, and 
statistics, but its a pretty high dollar item.  I currently have 3 
Transit connections, using BGP, and will have 5 by the end of the year.


Is there an open source project out there?  Maybe something utilizing 
Zebra, Flow Tools, and SNMP to intelligently load balance traffic?  I 
basically do this now... but its only 50% automated.. and using a long 
route map.

Thanks,
-Chris
