Advanced Load Balancing Scenario
IGP routing may direct all PE3/PE4/PE5 ingress traffic to egress PE2
Example in [IRSCP]: 71.8% of multi-homed traffic goes to one link (complete imbalance)
PCE policies could be configured such that
traffic load monitored (e.g., based on Netflow data) at ingress routers PE3 ? PE7 towards data center prefixes served by egress routers PE1 & PE2
PCE path computations balance traffic load, e.g., PE4/PE5 to egress PE1, thus overriding default IGP based selection
