Abstract

A device may include one or more processors to identify a first bandwidth of a first link and a second bandwidth of a second link that include a first plurality of interfaces and a second plurality of interfaces, respectively. The one or more processors may store a first and a second link bandwidth extended community value identifying the first bandwidth and the second bandwidth, respectively. The one or more processors may determine that the first bandwidth has increased or decreased. The one or more processors may store a modified first link bandwidth extended community value identifying the first bandwidth as increased or decreased. The one or more processors may perform load balancing of network traffic on the first link and the second link based on the modified first link bandwidth extended community value and the second link bandwidth extended community value.
