[j-nsp] Load Balance b/w two or more LSPs

You could try another technique, which is to manually associate the  
L2VPN and a particular LSP.
This way you have 2 LSPs (lets say you use autoBW and least-fill) to  
encourage the LSPs to  use different egress ports (you could also  
force this using EROs).  At this point, you need to use policies to  
associate traffic to a given l2cct so that VPN-1 uses LSP-1 etc.
