RE: [j-nsp] BGP with equal static routes

Hi Carsten,

By default, JUNOS will per-prefix load-balance over the two E1 links.
Simply define two equal cost static routes to the customer's loopback
(and vice-versa) and run multihop ebgp. Per-flow load-balancing is also
a configurable option.

Good luck!

Jack
