Video:Small site using BGP on two uplinks into an MPLS VPN network

From CT3

Jump to: navigation, search

The video describes the configuration of a redundant remote site design. The site has a single router that connects the site to the MPLS VPN network with two equal-speed uplinks. Both links are used in a load sharing setup. The router is using BGP as the PE-CE routing protocol.
