ECMP Weighted Round Roubin

Hi,

 

I have a case where we have to PA FWs and there is 3 connections between them,

1- Two Microwave Links (Up to 100mbps)

2- One DSP Link (Up to 10mbps)

 

There is a total of 3 IPSec Tunnels and i'm using weighted round robin, however, i don't know how to calculate the weights and what numbers i should put in the ECMP to reflect the real speeds of the links.

The weights are simply relative to each other with higher being better (up to 255).  So in your case I would simply use 100 and 10 as the values matching the bandwidth of the circuits.
