If your network is configured for shortest-exit routing, the peer routers that you would most likely use this on would have a very symmetrical view on traffic. This would appear to make this option look very enticing.. My major concern in using this is exactly how large of a CPU hit running this function costs. Does anyone have a feel on what this does to RSP2s & 4s on 75xx series routers with a decent amount of tables and traffic? Bri -- Brian Holt Network Engineer Nap.Net, L.L.C. (800)801-3920
