I can't speak for any of the other methods with empirical data, but I can
tell you that for a true split the bits bandwidth type of load sharing,
eBGP doesn't seem to do a very good job. We're currently trying to do it
with UUnet over two FR T1s. The routes will get cached on the FR subinterface
and then all traffic for the cached route will go out that interface.
For our application, it is suboptimal. YMMV.
Once we have control of both routers, we're looking at EIGRP to do the
loadsharing.
Good luck,
Todd
