hello I do not think you should mess a lot with interdomain routing here. Such a scenario (multiple uplinks from the same ISP) IMHO is better be solved on the layer 2. What you need is some technology that utilizes two Ethernet ports at once. About a week or two ago on this list was discussed similar setup using Cisco technology. Search for subject "ng_fec and Cisco 2931". I f your ISP is using the switch/router that supports FEC, you could do this trick. Also most 3com intelligent switches support aggregating links via multiple 100Mbit channels. If you have put 3com equipment on both sides of your internet connection you'll can get what you want. Hope that helps. BTW the first and best thing to do is to ask such question to your ISP.

I agree with you that fbsd (or any other linux) is much better than cisco in terms of stability. The cisco routers at my site are crashing like cron jobs while the fbsd boxes usually have long uptimes. :) off topic: I used to be a network admin some time ago, but no longer true now....and unfortunately, in the past I had only very few chances to deal with interdomain routing, mainly in lab. I'm afraid I have forgotten everything by now :( ----- Original Message ----- From: "Goran Gajic" <ggajic@mail.sbb.co.yu> To: <freebsd-net@www.freebsd.org> Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2005 6:01 Subject: Re: multiple uplinks from ISP > > Hi, > > I have used succesfuly FBSD 5.2.1 as BGP router and it is rock stable with > quagga (check out www.quagga.net) - more stable then 30k $ Cisco 7206 :)) > Problem is if you have AS and LIR and if you don't there are other > solutions.
