      Hello Mark,
        

        
        Currently we don't have capacity on our Core for STM64 and
          however having multiple STM16 also gives us good resilience.
      
    
    

    What is your topology?
A weathermap view of the topology is as below 
              

    

    Are you running long SDH circuits from your main base to some other
    country where you're buying IP Transit, type-thing, or are you
    purchasing IP locally within country?
We are buying IP Transit over SDH circuits.

    

    If the former, do you have your own routers in the remote country?
No

    

    
      
        Our internet capacity is increasing everyday and even
          though we have plan to upgrade our core routers this year.
      
    
    

    So is the current issue the link size, or the routers needed to
    support your ultimate link size?
The is issues is having an automatic way of balancing inbound traffic across the multiple links as we have control over the outbound traffic.

    

    
      
        We will still have the issues of dealing with two cable
          providers but multiple internet peers and having to load
          balance in this same manner and hence a solution hunt being
          pursued now.. 

        
      
    
    

    Are these 8x providers all upstreams, peers, or a combination? If
    the all upstreams, do you do any kind of peering anywhere in your
    network?
They are all upstreams peers using BGP as the exchange mechanism and in our internal network we peer with Two PE routers running OSPF.We also run iBGP between the two core routers. ( IGW1 and IGW2 as in diagram above).
    

    Mark.
