[j-nsp] Load Balance in VRF by Junos

Hello,

eBGP shouldn't come into play here. Your physical interfaces are bundled as 1 logical interface (ae0). Load balancing over L3 LAG interfaces works the same as ECMP links. You have to configure this:

http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/junos10.0/information-products/topic-collections/config-guide-policy/policy-configuring-per-packet-load-balancing.html

Stefan has suggested this below. Have you tried it?. Can you post your relevant config?

What I find weird is you do have some egress traffic on both physical links. It's just not even close to being balanced. Without any load balancing configs, I would expect to see 0 bps on one link. Do you have enough flows? If most of your traffic is generated from just a few flows, you may not be able to get much better.

Serge

Stefan,

This configuration has no effect, because the connection (PE x CE) uses EBGP
routing within the VRF dados.

What I need is to balance the outbound traffic of physical interfaces of
RT110, you have any other suggestions?

Thanks
Gabriel Farias
