## AI overview

A lab exercise explains how to use the BGP Link Bandwidth attribute on IBGP sessions to perform unequal-cost load balancing within a network.

## Source excerpt

In the previous BGP load balancing lab exercise, I described the BGP Link Bandwidth attribute and how you can use it on EBGP sessions. This lab moves the unequal-cost load balancing into your network; we'll use the BGP Link Bandwidth attribute on IBGP sessions.
