<p>Your best option is to AS-PATH-PREPEND the better of the two carriers until you get a good balance, adding one AS hop to the outbound announcement is usually enough to make a fair difference but there is no way to ensure 50/50, it's just not going to happen
especially if one of your upstream's is a carrier like Vocus who are well peered across the world.</p>

<b>Subject:</b> [AusNOG] Inbound BGP traffic balancing</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">Hi All,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've currently got transit from two of the major carriers and it seems that if I don't do any manipulation BGP naturally makes about 90% of the traffic come through the one carrier and only ~10% through the other.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've tried all the usual tricks like shorter prefixes, communities etc but not really getting much that I can rely on for even split.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there a much more reliable way of evenly balancing inbound traffic 50/50? I'm open to commercial solutions if one exists.</div>
