BGP: Egress Peer Traffic Engineering

Egress peer traffic engineering allows a central controller to instruct an ingress router in a domain to direct the traffic towards a specific egress router and a specific external interface to reach a particular destination out of the network. Egress peer traffic engineering allows for the selection of the best advertised egress route and mapping of the selected best route to a specific egress point. In case of load balancing at the ingress, this feature ensures optimum utilization of the advertised egress routes.
