## AI overview

A lab exercise demonstrates how to use the BGP Link Bandwidth extended community to distribute traffic across multiple links in an unequal ratio, building on earlier EBGP equal-cost load balancing concepts.

## Source excerpt

The first BGP load balancing lab exercise described the basics of EBGP equal-cost load balancing. Now for the fun part: what if you want to spread traffic across multiple links in an unequal ratio? There's a nerd knob for that: the BGP Link Bandwidth extended community that you can test-drive in this lab exercise.
