Geographically Distributing load

[csaravanan-sym]

Hi,

We have two datacenters one in east coast and the other in west coast

We are peering with two major ISPs in each location

We want this datacenter to load balance incoming traffic geographically

How can I ensure, the east coast customers reach the East coast Data center and the west coast customers reach the West coast DC

Thanks,

Chandru

Hi,

Outbound routing policies affects inbound traffic

Inbound routing policies affects outbound traffic

Weight  & Local-Preference
Set inbound
Affects outbound traffic

AS-Path & MED
Set outbound
Affects inbound traffic

Consult with ISP before implementing routing policies !

I would recommend you to use devices such as GSS Cisco 4492R would allow you to configure the proximity to Location based on few criterias
