[c-nsp] etherchannel load-balance when un-equal traffic

[Tassos Chatzithomaoglou]

We have the following scenario:


5 routers
|||||
3550
  ||
  || GEC (2x1Gbps)
  ||
6500
  |
1 router


1 of the 5 routers connected to the 3550 has 600 mbps traffic, while the other 4 routers have 130 
mbps each.

In order to achieve the best load-balance (600mbps on one link, 4x130 on the other) is there a way 
on the 3550, so we can force specific (based on source ip or mac) routers to send their traffic 
through a specific link of the etherchannel?

Maybe there is a better way to split traffic across 2 ethernet links besides etherchannel?
