In routing tcp/ip is says that load balancing can only be done for EBGP paths but in my IOS it has the command 'maximum-path ibgp (1-6)' command is this command a resent addition to IOS software?
Is it best practise not to load balance over a IBGP path for any reason?

What's another word for Thesaurus?

Could it be that the load balancing feature would be facilitated by the IGP within the AS that moves the updates between EBGP speakers?There is no place like 127.0.0.1 BUT 209.62.5.3 is my 127.0.0.1 away from 127.0.0.1!
