[c-nsp] Load balancing

[M K]

Do you ever hear that REP is in an exam !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a case am facing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SW4 , SW5 and SW6 are in a closed Ring running REP with blocking occuring on the link between SW4 and SW5SW6 has the primary and preferred REP termination pointsThe customer routers are connected to switches SW4 and SW5And the customer traffic (LAN) is connected to the routers via a switchThe customer wants to load balance both inbound and outbound trafficFor outbound traffic , GLBP will be the best option but am asking for the inbound traffic as well as how to control the packet from going and coming back through the same path and thanks all

Hi allI have the below setup
          SW6     /               \SW4 --------SW5  |                   |  R1             R2      \           /         LAN (Customer)      Now SW4 , SW5 and SW6 are running REP where the blocking occurs on the segment between SW4 and SW5What the customer is asking for is Load balancing for both incoming and outgoing trafficWhat we have suggested is that we can implement GLBP on the segment between R1 , R2 and the customer LAN (Switch) , but that will control outgoing traffic only right ? Another issue arises is that how we can insure that when a host generates a packet and that packet follows the path R2 - SW5 - SW6 will come back through the same path not from the other one?
Thanks
