[AusNOG] Multi-path route maps

[Joseph Goldman]

Hi Josh,

  1st definition you theorised.

  Basic example:

    Cheap link, poor quality but lots of bandwidth being the Primary path.

    More expensive, great quality link with limited bandwidth being the 
secondary path.

    All traffic by default comes in and out by Primary path.

    I want to set unencrypted web traffic only (For example) to use 
secondary path. Would set route-map to identify TCP port 80 and change 
next-hop. But for these connections only (i.e. the traffic for 
retrieving the website assets) I would like to go back DOWN the 2nd path 
also. So only traffic coming from that 2nd path go back that 2nd path.

Let me know if you'd like any more info :).

Got some off list replies to head me in some directions, but would love 
to hear from anyone who has more knowledge to offer :)

Thanks,
Joe
