I have the following network topology:
Three router topology with interconnecting links making a triangle. Two the routers have a connections to an ISP and thus the network has two gateways. In normal load balancing, a single gateway router as multiple links to ISPs. Since my network topology has two gateways but are on different routers, what’s the best method to allow some form of load balancing across the two gateways?
BGP between your routers and your two ISPs,
OSPF internal on your network
Thanks for the response. How is that going to perform load balancing? What should I specifiy as the gateway for the clients within the network?
One way is by using OSPF Costs. The other is by using Open Shortest Path First (OSPF). It all really depends on how well your network is designed.
OSPF can do what you want, it is designed to do what you want… I suggest you maybe read up on it a bit…
