Abstract:

   The DMZ Link Bandwidth draft provides a way to load-balance traffic
   to a destination which is reachable via more than one path according
   to the weight attahced.  Typically, the link bandwidth (either
   configured on the link of the EBGP egress interface or set via a
   policy) is encoded in an extended community and then sent to the IBGP
   peer that employs multi-path.  The link-bandwidth value is then
   extracted from the extended community and is used as a weight in the
   RIB/FIB, which does the load-balancing.  This draft extends the usage
   of the DMZ link bandwidth to another setting where the ingress BGP
   speaker requires knowledge of the cumulative bandwidth while doing
   the load-balancing.  The draft also proposes neighbor-level knobs to
   enable the link bandwidth extended community to be regenerated and
   then advertised to EBGP peers to override the default behavior of not
   advertising optional non-transitive attributes to EBGP peers.
