[c-nsp] Different Traffic thru BGP links

You can point a static to a tunnel interface, for the customers routes. 
However all traffic from the router will then use the tunnel,(be it mpls,gre ecc.). 
This does not however map the specific traffic  only router wide traffic. Besides PBR the only other thing that comes to mind for mapping specific traffic is to use IPSEC and map with crypto maps.

I am assuming you are talking about MPLS Traffic Engineering Tunnels.
How are you going to map right kind of traffic to right Tunnel(from Link A and B to Link C).
You would have to use some kind of PBR which we are trying to avoid.
