Hi,

IN the BGP introduction lesson , in the case with two ISPs sending default route, you have mentioned as below.

"Our customer network only received a default route from both ISPs and we have chosen to use the default route of ISP1 to send all our outgoing traffic to. "

My question is : Will this not ecmp and CPE traffic sent to two ISPs .You have mentioned it will be sent only to ISP1.
