steps:
Configuring EBGP for Route and Traffic Balancing
EBGP route balancing and traffic balancing are two techniques that allow an
EBGP speaker to distribute routes to the same destination among multiple
equal-cost paths.
In both techniques, EBGP uses equal-cost multipath (ECMP) routes submitted
statically to the IP routing table. (Although unusual for EBGP connections, the
ECMP routes could also be submitted by OSPF or RIP.) For information about
configuring ECMP for OSPF and RIP, see Configuring IP, ARP, RARP, RIP, and
OSPF Services.
You can configure an EBGP speaker to use ECMP static routes in the IP routing
table for route balancing and traffic balancing.
