Does anybody know what are load balancing algorithms by most routers ? Where can I more information about this ? thanks Abhi
oh hey, does anyone on this list know how to make cars go faster for most makes/models? heh, j/k ;> you might want to check out rfc2991 and rfc2992. "most" routers are cisco routers, and they use cisco express forwarding for next-hop forwarding decisions along with ospf/isis/eigrp/bgp4/etc. this is commonly known as load balancing or load sharing or equal cost multipath (sometimes abbreviated as ECMP). cisco and other vendors have more information about how they do ECMP on their websites. I believe you can search their websites for even load balacing and come up with the information that you are looking for. if you are looking for source code that you can compile and play with, try zebra.org. -dre
