BGP Configuration with Load Balancing

Hi,

I am running BGP in our CORE Mikrotik Router with the following:

  1. SPRINT 100MBps port
  2. Carrier B only for peering purpose (interchange traffic for VOIP)
  3. Carrier C only for peering purpose (interchange traffic for clients and VOIP)

It’s running with not problem MT 3.11

The issue right know it’s that we add another 100Mbps circuit with SPRINT so will have 2 Port of 100MbpxTX and we need the capacity to use the full 200Mbps for do that the only way that SPRINT support it’s with Load Balancing BGP Session.

For do that our actual configuration it’s the following:

  1. The actual Remote Peer Address it’s 144.xxx.xxx.181 - that’s it’s the other part of the /30 configured in the first 100 circuit.
  2. I receive from SPRINT only the default route

Now…

I have two circuit with a /30 of IP address to SPRINT we changed the remote peer IP to SPRINT loopback address and they create two static route to know how to go to my loopback address in they Cisco


Cisco 12000 Series ------------ Ethernet 1 ----------------- /30 IP------ WAN 1 MT 3.11
----------- Ether2 ----------------------/30 IP -----WAN 2

Loopback IP Cisco ------------------------------------ Loopback IP MT

They create two static route to know how to go to my loopback and I do the same.

I receive the default route from SPRINT but the loopback IP it’s not in the range of any of the interface configured in the router and the route it’s in the routing table but now working perhaps I can ping they loopback address.

What we need to know it’s really easy with a cisco with cisco but I am trying to do with Cisco and MT. Also I don’t want to adversite some ip blocks from one line and others for the other line. I really need a truly load balancing like that. In cisco you can do that by packets or per stream.

Any ideas???

P.D. Also Sprint does’t want to provide me a Giga port and limited to 200Mbps =( to sad for me we are in the same building.

What we need to do in cisco you can do in the following way:

Now it’s supported with version 3.13 with routing-test packages…

Great Support!
