Hi,
I could not find any documentation on the significant of
the weight assignment to multipath route, example
It is here:
http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html#AEN298

if I have two nexthop, one is 2M and another is 512k,
so the first nexthop should have a weight of 4 and the
other is weight 1 ?
If you want the traffic balanced equally per-speed, yes.
It won't be exact though.

Higher number meaning better bandwidth ?
Yes, A higher weighting means a higher preference.

regards,
