[c-nsp] Unintentional load balancing of traffic

[CiscoNSP List]

Hi Everyone,


Have a PE that has 2 "interpop" connections back to 2 other PE's...both links running ospf+mpls.


Link 1 (primary) has ip ospf cost 201

Link 2 (secondary has ip ospf cost 202



But traffic egressing from this PE is load balancing(per session) across the 2 links?



If I do a sh ip route foo, it displays both paths, known via OSPF and route metric of 205?



Hoping someone can explain why? (Are the ospf costs too close, and "other" attributes/metrics come into play, and the links are seen as equal?)



Cheers.
