BGP traffic engineering


The dmzlink-bw feature is used to configure [BGP](/bgp) to distribute traffic proportionally over external links with unequal bandwidth when [multipath load balancing](/bgp-equal-cost-multipath) is enabled between directly connected [eBGP](/bgp-definition-of-external-bgp-ebgp) neighbors.  This feature is used as part of [BGP traffic engineering](/bgp-traffic-engineering).

The `bgp dmzlink-bw` command under the address-family configuration of BGP, allows multipath load balancing to distribute link traffic proportionally to the bandwidth of each external link and to advertise the bandwidth of these links to [iBGP](/bgp-definition-of-internal-bgp-ibgp) peers as an extended [community](/bgp-communities).
