OT: Re: Optimized Edge Routing

Hi Nauman,

When I was still with Fluke Networks, I worked with a lot of different
companies around the world that were either deploying PfR or testing PfR in
their own labs to solve certain network issues.B Most companies were using it
for performance guarantees and for link-load balancing. (per-prefix load
balancing, not per-packet load-balancing).B Yes it does work and its pretty
easy to implement, but your configuration is going to depend on what you
currently have and what you are really trying to do (like most things).

I haven't looked at the updated Volume 1 workbook from INE with regards to
PfR, but I'm sure it would be a great resource for PfR based on the other
great products that they've created. (I did use them).

If you want more details or have any questions, feel free to unicast me.

HTH,

PS - I do not work for Fluke anymore so I'm not peddling their products here
(Fluke had a GUI for PfR), and I added the OT to your subject line, since this
question doesn't directly relate to the lab, even though PfR is testable now.

Subject: Re: Optimized Edge Routing

Petr gives a great example in our Volume 1 workbook.

Perhaps you have a high bandwidth satellite link that unfortunately is high
delay. Perhaps there is another link out of your AS that features low
bandwidth, but also low delay.

With Performance Routing (PfR), formerly called Optimized Edge Routing (OER),
you can ensure Voice traffic routes out the low delay link and route file
transfers over the satellite link.

I will be adding a lesson to my CCIE Written Bootcamp this week that covers
all 5 phases of PfR in great detail. It seems that Cisco Press has been
lacking the detail so far that students are requesting.
